[PATCH v3 0/9] Locations API

[Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>]

This is the next revision of the locations/explicit locations mega-API
change on which I've been working. The most important change in this
revision is the removal of some previous ugliness introduced by the
patch set to deal with advancing the input pointer for the CLI.

In this version, all of this has been removed (even from decode_line*).
This is now done (easily) by adding a new lexing function to find the
end of the linespec.

Thus, string_to_event_location can now treat all location types the same
and advance the input pointer past the first terminated location string.

General API usage now looks like:

void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
  struct event_location *location;
  struct cleanup *cleanup;

  location = string_to_event_location (&arg, current_language);
  cleanup = make_cleanup_delete_event_location (location);
  if (*arg)
    error ("junk at end of command");
  /* do whatever with location, e.g., create_breakpoint (location, ...);  */
  do_cleanups (cleanup);
}

One note on this series... explicit-ui-cli will introduce a failing
test because of gdb/17960 (internal-error when completing "source.c:func").
This is trivially fixable after that patch has been committed.

I figure there's no harm in delaying further review. There's still quite
a way to go.
