[PATCH] gdb: define type aliases for `fork_inferior()` callbacks

[PATCH] gdb: define type aliases for `fork_inferior()` callbacks

[Simon Marchi]

The `fork_inferior()` function accepts multiple callbacks, making its
signature a bit hard to read.  Define some type aliases to make it a bit
clearer.  Use function view for all, while at it.
