[RFA] new command to search memory


I didn't get a response to the non-doc portions of this patch.
[Eli, thanks for the doc review, I made the suggested changes,
though I went a different route in shortening the length of the
line specifying the find command syntax.  The end result is still
rather short.]

The libiberty patches need to go through gcc-patches, but I'm guessing
there's no point in bothering them until this patch is approved
at least in principal.

What can I do to help make progress here?

+
+If the value size is not specified, it is taken from the
+value's type.  This is useful when one wants to specify the search
+pattern as a mixture of types.

+The maximum number of finds to print.  The default is to print all finds.
+@end table
+
+Strings may be specified for search values, quote them with double-quotes
+(@code{"}).  The string value is copied into the search pattern byte by byte,
+regardless of the endianness of the target and the size specification.
+
+The address of each match found is printed as well as a count of the
+number of matches found.
+
+The address of the last value found is stored in convenience variable
+@samp{$_}.
+A count of the number of matches is stored in @samp{$numfound}.
+
+For example, if stopped at the printf in this function
