Tom Tromey 45e4216376 Make TUI resizing tests more robust
As Sergio pointed out, the TUI resizing tests are flaky.  Debugging
this showed three main problems.

1. expect's "stty" command processes its arguments one-by-one.  So,
rather than requesting a single resize, it sends two separate resize
requests (one for rows and one for columns).  This means gdb sees two
SIGWINCH signals and resizes the terminal twice.

I consider this a bug in expect, but I couldn't readily see how to
report a bug; and anyway the fix wouldn't propagate very quickly.

This patch works around this problem by explicitly doing two separate
resizes (so it will be robust if expect ever does change); and then by
waiting for each resize to complete before continuing.

2. gdb uses curses to drive the console rendering.  Currently the test
suite looks for terminal text insertion sequences to decide when a
command has completed.  However, it turns out that, sometimes, curses
can output things in non-obvious ways.  I didn't debug into curses but
I guess this can happen due to output optimizations.  No matter the
reason, sometimes the current approach of only tracking text
insertions is not enough to detect that gdb has finished rendering.

This patch fixes this problem by arranging to detect the termination
output after any curses command, not just insertion.

3. Detecting when a resize has completed is tricky.  In fact, I could
not find a way to reliably do this.

This patch fixes this problem by adding a special maint
"tui-resize-message" setting to gdb.  When this is enabled, gdb will
print a message after each SIGWINCH has been fully processed.  The
test suite enables this mode and then waits for the message in order
to know when control can be returned to the calling test.

This patch also adds a timeout, to avoid the situation where the
terminal code fails to notice a change for some reason.  This lets the
test at least try to continue.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
