[RFA] Add "inf" alias for "info"

- Subject: [RFA] Add "inf" alias for "info"
I was used to use
(gdb) inf reg
to get a listing of registers,
but since the new "inferior" command appeared,
I now get this:
(gdb) inf reg
Ambiguous command "inf reg": inferior, info.
The proposed patch add "inf" as an alias
of "info", saving the hassle of retyping "info"
after the message above.
I think that "inferior" is a far less used command
and it is only useful for targets supporting
multiple inferiors...
Is this patch OK?
