    PR cli/21688: Fix multi-line/inline command differentiation

    This bug is a regression caused by the following commit:

      604c4576fdcfc4e7c28f569b3748a1b6b4e0dbd4 is the first bad commit
      commit 604c4576fdcfc4e7c28f569b3748a1b6b4e0dbd4

    The problem happens because, on cli/cli-script.c:process_next_line,
    GDB is not using the command line string to identify which command to
    run, but it instead using the 'struct cmd_list_element *' that is
    obtained by using the mentioned string.  The problem with that is that
    the 'struct cmd_list_element *' doesn't have any information on
    whether the command issued by the user is a multi-line or inline one.

    A multi-line command is a command that will necessarily be composed of
    more than 1 line.  For example:

      (gdb) if 1
      >python
       >print ('hello')
       >end
      >end

    As can be seen in the example above, the 'python' command actually
    "opens" a new command line (represented by the change in the
    indentation) that will then be used to enter Python code.  OTOH, an
    inline command is a command that is "self-contained" in a single line,
    for example:

      (gdb) if 1
      >python print ('hello')
      >end

    This Python command is a one-liner, and therefore there is no other
    Python code that can be entered for this same block.  There is also no
    change in the indentation.

    So, the fix is somewhat simple: we have to revert the change and use
    the full command line string passed to process_next_line in order to
    identify whether we're dealing with a multi-line or an inline command.
    This commit does just that.  As can be seen, this regression also
    affects other languages, like guile or the compile framework.  To make
    things clearer, I decided to create a new helper function responsible
    for identifying a non-inline command.

    Testcase is attached.
