[RFA] insight gdb_stdlog bug

When GDBTK_TO_RESULT is set, insight gobbles all output written to
gdb_stdlog.  But, the stuff written to gdb_stdlog isn't meant to be
parsed by insight -- it's meant to be read by a person.

While it might be desired -- when GDBTK_TO_RESULT is not set -- that
gdb_stdlog go the same place as gdb_stdout, it cannot have the same
pointer value as gdb_stdout or the code won't be able to distinguish
output meant for gdb_stdout vs output meant for gdb_stdlog when
GDBTK_TO_RESULT is set.

The following patch fixes that.  (The result is that output written to
gdb_stdlog appears in the insight console window if it is active.)

ChangeLog entries (3 separate ChangeLog files):

	* main.c (captured_main): Initialize gdb_stdlog to a copy of
 	gdb_stdout rather than to gdb_stdout, so that code can distinguish
 	them.

	* tui/tui-file.c (tui_file_fputs): Handle gdb_stdlog the same
	as gdb_stdout.

	* gdbtk/generic/gdbtk-hooks.c (gdbtk_fputs): Distinguish between
	gdb_stdlog and gdb_stdout.
