trying to use a command like gdb.execute("show commands") in Python
fails. GDB ends up trying to run the "commands" command.
The reason is that GDB gets confused with the special "commands"
command. In process_next_line, the lookup_cmd_1 function returns the
cmd_list_element representing the "commands" sub-command of "show".
Lower, we check the cmd_list_element to see if it matches various
control commands by name, including the "commands" command. This is
where we wrongfully conclude that the executed command must be
"commands", when in reality it was "show commands".
The fix proposed in this patch removes the comparisons by name, instead
comparing the cmd_list_element object by pointer with the objects
created at initialization time.
Tested on the buildbot, though on a single builder (Fedora-x86_64-m64).
Move 'is_regular_file' from common-utils.c to filestuff.c
There is no reason for 'is_regular_file' to be in common-utils.c; it
belongs to 'filestuff.c'. This commit moves the function definition
and its prototype to the appropriate files.
The motivation behind this move is a failure that happens on certain
cross-compilation environments when compiling the IPA library, due to
the way gnulib probes the need for a 'stat' call replacement. Because
configure checks when cross-compiling are more limited, gnulib decides
that it needs to substitute the 'stat' calls its own 'rpl_stat';
however, the IPA library doesn't link with gnulib, which leads to an
error when compiling 'common-utils.c':
The most simple fix for this problem is to move 'is_regular_file' to
'filestuff.c', which is not used by IPA. This ends up making the
files more logically organized as well, since 'is_regular_file' is a
file operation.

Fix crash with empty Rust enum
While testing my Rust compiler patch to fix the DWARF representation
of Rust enums (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54004), I found
a gdb crash coming from one of the Rust test cases.
The bug here is that the new variant support in gdb does not handle
the case where there are no variants in the enum.
This patch fixes the problem in a straightforward way. Note that the
new tests are somewhat lax because I did not want to try to fully fix
this corner case for older compilers. If you think that's
unacceptable, let meknow.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 28 using several versions of the Rust
compiler. I intend to push this to the 8.2 branch as well.

Set TYPE_LENGTH on a variant part
gdb represents a DW_TAG_variant_part as a union. While normally DWARF
would not set the size of a DW_TAG_variant_part, gdb's representation
requires the TYPE_LENGTH to be set.
This patch arranges to set the TYPE_LENGTH of a variant part if it has
not already been set.
This fixes some Rust regressions when testing against a version of
rustc that emits DW_TAG_variant_part.

Fix a small bug in gdb.rust/simple.rs
I noticed that gdb.rust/simple.rs had two local variables named "v".
This didn't previous cause problems, but with a newer rust compiler
this resulted in a test failure. (It should have failed all along, so
I suppose earlier passes were due to a compiler bug.)
Fix regression for multi breakpoints command line clearing.
breakpoint.c is modified to fix the regression introduced
when clearing the commands of several breakpoints by giving an empty
list of commands, by just typing "end".
GDB should read an empty list of command once, but it reads
it for each breakpoint, as an empty list of command is NULL,
and NULL is interpreted as 'not having read the command list yet'.
The fix consists in having a boolean set to true once the
command list has been read.

Split size in regset section iterators
In the existing code, when using the regset section iteration functions, the
size parameter is used in different ways.
With collect, size is used to create the buffer in which to write the regset.
(see linux-tdep.c::linux_collect_regset_section_cb).
With supply, size is used to confirm the existing regset is the correct size.
If REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE is set then the regset can be bigger than size.
Effectively, size is the minimum possible size of the regset.
(see corelow.c::get_core_register_section).
There are currently no targets with both REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE and a collect
function.
In SVE, a corefile can contain one of two formats after the header, both of
which are different sizes. However, when writing a core file, we always want
to write out the full bigger size.
To allow support of collects for REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE we need two sizes.
This is done by adding supply_size and collect_size.
inadvertently changed the default behavior of GDBserver wrt address
randomization. The old disable_randomization global variable was
initialized to 1, whereas the corresponding field in the client_state
structure is initialized to 0.

make check TESTS="gdb.base/jit-simple.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
make check TESTS="gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
Note that the execl-update-breakpoints.exp would only fail on systems
where the toolchain emits position-independent executables by default
(otherwise the main executable position is never randomized, so the
value of disable_randomization didn't matter).
