Remove excess calls to gdb_flush

A customer noticed some mildly odd MI output, where CLI output was
split into multiple MI strings at unusual boundaries, like this:

    ~"$1 = (b => true"
    ~", p => 0x407260"

This is technically correct according to the MI spec, but still
unusual, in that there's no particular reason for the string to be
split where it is.

I tracked this down to a call to gdb_flush in generic_val_print.
Then, I went through all calls to gdb_flush and removed the ones I
thought were superfluous.  In particular:

* Any call in the value-printing code;
* Likewise the type-printing code (just a single call); and
* Any call that immediately followed a printf that obviously
  ended with a newline, my belief being that gdb's standard output
  streams are line buffered (by inheriting the behavior from stdio)

Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.

I didn't add a new test case.  I tend to think we don't necessarily
want to specify this behavior in the tests.  Let me know what you
think of this.
