[binutils-gdb] [Ada] Fix completion for multiple function matches

[Ada] Fix completion for multiple function matches

Before this change, trying to complete an expression ending with an
ambiguous function name (i.e. for which there are multiple matches)
would display a menu with a prompt for the user to pick one. For
instance:

    (gdb) p func<tab>Multiple matches for func
    [0] cancel
    [1] pack2.func at pack2.adb:5
    [2] pack.func at pack.adb:5
    >

This is not user friendly and actually triggered a segmentation fault
after the user did pick one. It is not clear whether the segmentation
fault needs a separate fix, but this is the only known case which
exhibits it at the moment, and this case must be fixed itself.

The problem lies in ada-lang.c (ada_resolve_function): when we got
multiple matches, we should not display the menu if we are in completion
mode. This patch adjusts the corresponding condition accordingly.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* ada-lang.c (ada_resolve_function): Do not ask the user what
	match to use when in completion mode.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.ada/complete.exp: Add "pck.ambiguous_func" to the relevant
	expected outputs.  Add two testcases for completing ambiguous
	functions.
	* gdb.ada/complete/aux_pck.adb: New file.
	* gdb.ada/complete/aux_pck.ads: New file.
	* gdb.ada/complete/foo.adb: Pull Aux_Pck and call the two
	Ambiguous_Func functions.
	* gdb.ada/complete/pck.ads: Add an Ambiguous_Func function.
	* gdb.ada/complete/pck.adb: Likewise.

Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
