Philippe Waroquiers cf00cd6faf default-args: allow to define default arguments for aliases
Currently, a user can define an alias, but cannot have default
arguments for this alias.

This patch modifies the 'alias' command so that default args can
be provided.
    (gdb) h alias
    Define a new command that is an alias of an existing command.
    Usage: alias [-a] [--] ALIAS = COMMAND [DEFAULT-ARGS...]
    ALIAS is the name of the alias command to create.
    COMMAND is the command being aliased to.

    Options:
      -a
        Specify that ALIAS is an abbreviation of COMMAND.
        Abbreviations are not used in command completion..

    GDB will automatically prepend the provided DEFAULT-ARGS to the list
    of arguments explicitly provided when using ALIAS.
    Use "help aliases" to list all user defined aliases and their default args.

    Examples:
    Make "spe" an alias of "set print elements":
      alias spe set print elements
    Make "elms" an alias of "elements" in the "set print" command:
      alias -a set print elms set print elements
    Make "btf" an alias of "backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main" :
      alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main
    Make "wLapPeu" an alias of 2 nested "with":
      alias wLapPeu = with language pascal -- with print elements unlimited --
    (gdb)

The way 'default-args' is implemented makes it trivial to set default
args also for GDB commands (such as "backtrace") and for GDB pre-defined
aliases (such as "bt").  It was however deemed better to not allow to
define default arguments for pre-defined commands and aliases, to avoid
users believing that e.g. default args for "backtrace" would apply to "bt".

If needed, default-args could be allowed for GDB predefined commands
and aliases by adding a command
'set default-args GDB_COMMAND_OR_PREDEFINED_ALIAS [DEFAULT-ARGS...]'.

* 'alias' command now has a completer that helps to complete:
     - ALIAS (if the user defines an alias after a prefix),
     - the aliased COMMAND
     - the possible options for the aliased COMMAND.

* Help and apropos commands show the definitions of the aliases
  that have default arguments, e.g.
        (gdb) help backtrace
        backtrace, btf, where, bt
          alias btf = backtrace -full -past-entry -past-main
        Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
        Usage: backtrace [OPTION]... [QUALIFIER]... [COUNT | -COUNT]

        Options:
          -entry-values no|only|preferred|if-needed|both|compact|default
            Set printing of function arguments at function entry.
        ...
