Yao Qi 6211c335ec Add options to skip unavailable locals
This is the patch to add new option '--skip-unavailable' to MI
commands '-stack-list-{locals, arguments, variables}'.  This patch
extends list_args_or_locals to add a new parameter 'skip_unavailable',
and don't list locals or arguments if values are unavailable and
'skip_unavailable' is true.

This is inspecting a trace frame (tfind mode), where only a few
locals have been collected.

-stack-list-locals, no switch vs new switch:

 -stack-list-locals --simple-values
 ^done,locals=[{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"},{name="i",type="int",value="<unavailable>"}]
 -stack-list-locals --skip-unavailable --simple-values
 ^done,locals=[{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"}]

-stack-list-arguments, no switch vs new switch:

 -stack-list-arguments --simple-values
 ^done,stack-args=[frame={level="0",args=[{name="j",type="int",value="4"},{name="s",type="char *",value="<unavailable>"}]},frame={level="1",args=[]}]
 -stack-list-arguments --skip-unavailable --simple-values
 ^done,stack-args=[frame={level="0",args=[{name="j",type="int",value="4"}]},frame={level="1",args=[]}]

-stack-list-variables, no switch vs new switch:

 -stack-list-variables --simple-values
 ^done,variables=[{name="j",arg="1",type="int",value="4"},{name="s",arg="1",type="char *",value="<unavailable>"},{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"},{name="i",type="int",value="<unavailable>"}]
 -stack-list-variables --skip-unavailable --simple-values
 ^done,variables=[{name="j",arg="1",type="int",value="4"},{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"}]

tests are added to test these new options.
