gdb/mi: add new --group-by-objfile flag for -file-list-exec-source-files

This commit adds a new option '--group-by-objfile' to the MI command
-file-list-exec-source-files.  With this option the output format is
changed; instead of a single list of source files the results are now
a list of objfiles.  For each objfile all of the source files
associated with that objfile are listed.

Here is an example of the new output format taken from the
documentation (the newlines are added just for readability):

  -file-list-exec-source-files --group-by-objfile
  ^done,files=[{filename="/tmp/info-sources/test.x",
                debug-info="fully-read",
                sources=[{file="test.c",
                          fullname="/tmp/info-sources/test.c",
                          debug-fully-read="true"},
                         {file="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h",
                          fullname="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h",
                          debug-fully-read="true"},
                         {file="header.h",
                          fullname="/tmp/info-sources/header.h",
                          debug-fully-read="true"}]},
               {filename="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",
                debug-info="none",
                sources=[]},
               {filename="system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fcf000",
                debug-info="none",
                sources=[]},
               {filename="/tmp/info-sources/libhelper.so",
                debug-info="fully-read",
                sources=[{file="helper.c",
                          fullname="/tmp/info-sources/helper.c",
                          debug-fully-read="true"},
                         {file="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h",
                          fullname="/usr/include/stdc-predef.h",
                          debug-fully-read="true"},
                         {file="header.h",
                          fullname="/tmp/info-sources/header.h",
                          debug-fully-read="true"}]},
               {filename="/lib64/libc.so.6",
                debug-info="none",
                sources=[]}]

In the above output the 'debug-info' field associated with each
objfile will have one of the values 'none', 'partially-read', or
'fully-read'.  For example, /lib64/libc.so.6 has the value 'none',
this indicates that this object file has no debug information
associated with it, unsurprisingly then, the sources list of this
object file is empty.

An object file that was compiled with debug, for example
/tmp/info-sources/libhelper.so, has the value 'fully-read' above
indicating that this object file does have debug information, and the
information is fully read into GDB.  At different times this field
might have the value 'partially-read' indicating that that the object
file has debug information, but it has not been fully read into GDB
yet.

Source files can appear at most once for any single objfile, but can
appear multiple times in total, if the same source file is part of
multiple objfiles, for example /tmp/info-sources/header.h in the above
output.

The new output format is hidden behind a command option to ensure that
the default output is unchanged, this ensures backward compatibility.

The behaviour of the CLI "info sources" command is unchanged after
this commit.
