In a record session, when we move backward, GDB switches from normal
execution to simulation. Moving forward again, the emulation continues
until the end of the reverse history. When the end is reached, the
execution stops, and a warning message is shown. This message has been
modified to indicate that the forward emulation has reached the end, but
the execution can continue as normal, and the recording will also continue.

Before this patch, the warning message shown in that case was the same as
in the reverse case. This meant that when the end of history was reached in
either backward or forward emulation, the same message was displayed:

"No more reverse-execution history."

This message remains for backward emulation. However, in forward emulation,
it has been modified to:

"End of recorded history; following steps will be added to history."

The reason for this change is that the initial message was deceiving, for
the forward case, making the user believe that forward debugging could not
continue.

Looks good to me with a small formatting nit.  CLI and documentation is
typically approved by Eli.

I tested this and it adds no regressions. I have one small nit inlined, 
but with that solved, you can add my review tag.

Once Markus is satisfied, I think this will be ready for merging.

Thank you, Markus.

> This line got too long.

All these are *.exp files and I cannot find an easy way to reduce the line

shorter in his case?

>All these are *.exp files and I cannot find an easy way to reduce the line length without breaking the expectations test. On the other hand, I see more *.exp files with much longer lines. Do you know how to make the line shorter in his case?

The test doesn't need to cover the full text.  It needs just enough to confirm
that we ran out of history.

When matching the prompt at the end, you can use -wrap before the string
and omit '$gdb_prompt $' at the end.

Markus.
