Remove completion_list_add_msymbol
Commit Message
Now that both symbol and minimal_symbol inherit from general_symbol_info,
we can use the same function for both here.

I have a change I'm currently working on that I think will add some
additional code to completion_list_add_symbol but not
completion_list_add_msymbol, however, it might take me a week or so to
finish up the change.
I'm happy for this patch to go in, but just a warning I might end up
having to reverse this as part of my work when I get it finished.
In case you (or anyone) is interested, the problem I'm trying to fix
is something that has annoyed me for ages. Consider this C++ code:
struct object { int a; };
typedef object *object_p;
static int
get_value (object_p obj)
{
return obj->a;
}
int
main ()
{
object obj;
obj.a = 0;
int val = get_value (&obj);
return val;
}
Now in GDB:
(gdb) complete break get_va
break get_value(object*)
break get_value(object_p)
Those two completions, that's what drives me mad. I now have GDB
basically fixed up so that it only offers `break get_value(object_p)`
as a completion (though you can manually type either if you wish), but
I just have one more issue left to resolve.
Thanks,
Andrew

Oh, in that case there's no point in landing this just to get it reverted.
(I still think it's confusing that the same symbol can have an msymbol
and a psymbol/symbol referring to it. I would really like to do
"something" about that; but not sure exactly what....)
