gdb: remove language_auto

I think that the language_auto enumerator and the auto_language class
can be removed.  There isn't really an "auto" language, it's only a
construct of the "set language" command to say "pick the appropriate
language automatically".  But "auto" is never the current language.  The
`current_language` points to the current effective language, and the
fact that we're in "auto language" mode is noted by the language_mode
global.

 - Change set_language to handle the "auto" (and "local", which is a
   synonym) early, instead of in the for loop.  I think it makes the two
   cases (auto vs explicit language) more clearly separated anyway.

 - Adjust add_set_language_command to hard-code the "auto" string,
   instead of using the "auto" language definition.

 - Remove auto_language, rename auto_or_unknown_language to
   unknown_language and move the bits of the existing unknown_language
   in there.

 - Remove the set_language at the end of _initialize_language.  I think
   it's not needed, because we call set_language in gdb_init, after all
   _initialize functions are called.  There is some chance that an
   _initialize function that runs after _initialize_language implicitly
   depends on current_language being set, but my testsuite runs haven't
   found anything like that.

 - Use language_unknown instead of language_auto when creating a minimal
   symbol (minimal_symbol_reader::record_full).  I think that this value
   is used to indicate that we don't know the symbol of the minimal
   symbol (yet), so language_unknown makes sense to me.  Update a
   condition accordingly in ada-lang.c.  symbol_find_demangled_name also
   appears to "normalize" this value from "unknown" to "auto", remove
   that part and update the condition to just check for
   language_unknown.
