Pedro Alves bd69330db8 Breakpoints in symbols with ABI tags (PR c++/19436)

Trying to set a breakpoint in a function with an ABI tag does not work
currently.  E.g., debugging gdb itself, we see this with the
"string_printf" function:

 (top-gdb) b string_print                               [TAB]
 (top-gdb) b string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...) [RET]
 No source file named string_printf[abi.
 Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])

Quoting doesn't help:
 (top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11]'(char const*, ...)
 malformed linespec error: unexpected string, "(char const*, ...)"
 (top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)'
 No source file named string_printf[abi.
 Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n

This patch fixes this, and takes it a bit further.

The actual symbol name as demangled by libiberty's demangler is really

 string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)

however, this patch makes it possible to set the breakpoint with

 string_printf(char const*, ...)

too.  I.e., ignoring the ABI tag.

And to match, it teaches the completer to complete the symbol name
without the ABI tag, i.e.,

  "string_pri<TAB>"  -> "string_printf(char const*, ...)"

If however, you really want to break on a symbol with the tag, then
you simply start writing the tag, and GDB will preserve it, like:

  "string_printf[a<TAB>"  -> "string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)"

Grows the gdb.linespec/ tests like this:

  -# of expected passes           8977
  +# of expected passes           9176
