This patch adds a typedef target_xfer_partial_ftype. When we change
the signature of xfer_partial functions (for example, adding a new
parameter), we don't have to modify all of their declarations.
This patch also updates the type of parameters of target_xfer_partial
from "void *" to "gdb_byte *".

The issue is that print_stack_frame always sets the current sal to the
frame's sal. print_frame_info (which print_stack_frame calls to do
most of the work) also sets the last displayed sal, but only if
print_what isn't LOCATION. Now the call in question, from within
thread.c:print_thread_info, does pass in LOCATION as print_what, but
print_stack_frame doesn't have the same check print_frame_info has.
We could consider adding it, but setting these globals depending on
print_what isn't very clean, IMO. What we have is two logically
distinct operations mixed in the same function(s):
#1 - print frame, in the format specified by {print_what,
print_level and print_args}.
#2 - We're displaying a frame to the user, and I want the default
sal to point here, because the program stopped here, or the user
did some context-changing command (up, down, etc.).
So I added a new parameter to print_stack_frame & friends for point
#2, and went through all calls in the tree adjusting as necessary.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

Bookmarks are opaque to the core code -- by design, the target is free
to use any sort of blob as bookmark identifier.
The record target chooses to use strings for bookmarks. This adds
casts following that direction, fixing -Wpointer-sign warnings.

Currently, several commands take "0" or "-1" to mean "unlimited".
"show" knows when to print "unlimited":
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is 45.
(gdb) set height 0
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is unlimited.
However, the user can't herself specify "unlimited" directly:
(gdb) set height unlimited
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb)
This patch addresses that, by adjusting the set handler for all
integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited commands to accept literal
"unlimited". It also installs a completer. Presently, we complete on
symbols by default, and at
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00864.html> I've
shown a WIP prototype that tried to keep that half working in these
commands. In the end, it turned out to be more complicated than
justifiable, IMO. It's super rare to want to pass the value of a
variable/symbol in the program to a GDB set/show knob. That'll still
work, it's just that we won't assist with completion anymore. This
patch just sticks with the simple, and completes on "unlimited", and
nothing else. This simplification means that
"set he<tab><tab>"
is all it takes to get to:
"set height unlimited"
The patch then goes through all integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited
commands in the tree, and updates both the online help and the manual
to mention that "unlimited" is accepted in addition to 0/-1. In the
cases where the command had no online help text at all, this adds it.
I've tried to make the texts read in a way that "unlimited" is
suggested before "0" or "-1" is.

The "set record full insn-number-max" command is an uinteger command.
If the variable that holds the maximum count of logged instructions is
unsigned, it's better if the variable that holds the current number of
logged instructions is also unsigned. Looking over the code, there's
no case the variable could end up negative.
Then, tests like "if (record_full_insn_max_num)" are always true,
because being a uinteger command means that "set record full
insn-number-max 0" is actually mapped to UINT_MAX internally. IOW,
the command's variable is never 0. The checks might make some sense
if 0 wasn't mapped to UINT_MAX, and 0 meant unlimited, but, that's not
how things work.
