  When debugging testsuite failures, it can be awkward parsing gdb.log to
obtain all the commands run in order to manually re-run the test.

This patch adds the functionality to save all gdb commands to the file gdb.in
when the testsuite is run. The file is saved in the directory for the test and
if gdb is restarted then .1, .2, .3 etc is added to the filename.

Once a test has been run, the .in file can be used to re-run the test in the
following way:

  gdb -x outputs/gdb.store/gdb.in outputs/gdb.store/store

The code works by intercepting send_gdb.  I've added a TYPE to ensure that any
commands that would destroy the playback are kept from the log (for example the
Y from an answer to a y/n question).

Adds library function standard_output_file_with_gdb_instance to open a file
postfixed with count of the gdb instance.  Ensure this count is reset when a new
.exp script is run.

I've re-run a random selection of .in files to check they do not error. Logs with
commands such as "attach <pid>" will not directly work when re-run.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

2019-05-14  Alan Hayward  <alan.hayward@arm.com>

	* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_unload): Mark Y as an answer.
	(delete_breakpoints): Likewise.
	(gdb_run_cmd): Likewise.
	(gdb_start_cmd): Likewise.
	(gdb_starti_cmd): Likewise.
	(gdb_internal_error_resync): Likewise.
	(gdb_test_multiple): Likewise.
	(gdb_reinitialize_dir): Likewise.
	(default_gdb_exit): Likewise.
	(gdb_file_cmd): Mark kill as optional.
	(default_gdb_start): Call gdb_stdin_log_init.
	(send_gdb): Call gdb_stdin_log_write.
	(rerun_to_main): Mark Y as an answer.
	(gdb_stdin_log_init): New function.
	(gdb_stdin_log_write): Likewise.

Thank you.  This seems very handy.

Does this placement work even if a single runtest runs multiple .exp
files?  Like "runtest --directory gdb.cp"?

Normally the GNU style reserves upper-case in situations like this to
refer to the value of a variable.  For a string I would just use quotes,
like:

# "standard": Default.  ...
