  This adds style support for variable names.  For the time being, this
is only done in backtraces, not in ptype or print; those places do not
use ui-out and so would need ad hoc changes.

Because "name" is a relatively common MI field name, simple name
recognition does not work for variable names.  So, this patch changes
cli-out to track the enclosing list name, and only colorize "name"
when appearing somewhere within a list named "args".

This also adds styling to the names printed for local variables in
"backtrace full".  This code does not use ui-out, so the styling is
done using the low-level API.

This patch misses an include for it to build on its own.

This is a case where I think the suggestion I made in my previous message
would help.  It would be much clearer and less magic if the caller just
explicitly communicated the intent of printing a variable, rather than
cli-out trying to guess.

So in print_frame_args, we could have

  -uiout->field_stream ("name", stb);
  +uiout->field_stream ("name", stb, print_style::VARIABLE);

or maybe even pass the style object directly

  uiout->field_stream ("name", stb, variable_name_style);
