[PATCH 1/2] PowerPC: fix for gdb.reverse/finish-precsave.exp and gdb.reverse/finish-reverse.exp

[Carl Love]

Tom, Ulrich, Bruno, Pedro, GDB maintainers:

This patch moves the step_until procedure from gdb.reverse/step-
indirect-call-thunk.exp to gdb/testsuite/lib/gdb.exp and renames it
repeat_cmd_until.  There are no functional changes as a result of this
change.

Patch tested on PowerPC and 5th generation X86 with no regression
failures.

                  Carl 

--------------------------------------------------------
Move step_until procedure

Procedure proc_step_until from test gdb.reverse/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp
is moved to lib/gdb.exp and renamed repeat_cmd_until.  The existing proceedure
gdb_step_until in lib/gdb.exp is simpler variant of the new repeat_cmd_until
proceedure.  The existing proceedure gdb_step_until is changed to just call
the new repeat_cmd_until proceedure with the command set to "step" and an
optional CURRENT string.  The default CURRENT string is set to "\}" to work
with the existing uses of proceedure gdb_step_until.
