[COMMIT PATCH] Make "set/show dcache line-size" and "set/show dcache size" zinteger commands instead of uinteger.

It doesn't make sense to request an "unlimited" dcache.  You want to
configure the cache with specific lines and length of lines.

It doesn't actually work anyway:

  (gdb) set dcache line-size 0
  Invalid dcache line size: 4294967295 (must be power of 2).

  (gdb) set dcache size 0
  (gdb) show dcache size
  Number of dcache lines is unlimited.

  (gdb) info dcache
  Dcache 4294967295 lines of 64 bytes each.
  No data cache available.

The code already has guards in place to forbid 0s:

static void
set_dcache_size (char *args, int from_tty,
		 struct cmd_list_element *c)
{
  if (dcache_size == 0)
    {
      dcache_size = DCACHE_DEFAULT_SIZE;
      error (_("Dcache size must be greater than 0."));
    }
  if (last_cache)
    dcache_invalidate (last_cache);
}

static void
set_dcache_line_size (char *args, int from_tty,
		      struct cmd_list_element *c)
{
  if (dcache_line_size < 2
      || (dcache_line_size & (dcache_line_size - 1)) != 0)
    {
      unsigned d = dcache_line_size;
      dcache_line_size = DCACHE_DEFAULT_LINE_SIZE;
      error (_("Invalid dcache line size: %u (must be power of 2)."), d);
    }
  if (last_cache)
    dcache_invalidate (last_cache);
}

So we now get:

  (gdb) set dcache line-size 0
  Invalid dcache line size: 0 (must be power of 2).
  (gdb) set dcache size 0
  Dcache size must be greater than 0.

	* dcache.c (_initialize_dcache): Make the "set dcache line-size"
	and "set dcache size" commands zuinteger instead of uinteger.
