[binutils-gdb] Replace the sync_execution global with a new enum prompt_state tristate

Replace the sync_execution global with a new enum prompt_state tristate

When sync_execution (a boolean) is true, it means we're running a
foreground command -- we hide the prompt stop listening to input, give
the inferior the terminal, then go to the event loop waiting for the
target to stop.

With multiple independent UIs, we need to track whether each UI is
synchronously blocked waiting for the target.  IOW, if you do
"continue" in one console, that console stops accepting commands, but
you should still be free to type other commands in the others
consoles.

Just simply making sync_execution be per-UI alone not sufficient,
because of this in fetch_inferior_event:

  /* If the inferior was in sync execution mode, and now isn't,
     restore the prompt (a synchronous execution command has finished,
     and we're ready for input).  */
  if (current_ui->async && was_sync && !sync_execution)
    observer_notify_sync_execution_done ();

We'd have to record at entry the "was_sync" state for each UI, not
just of the current UI.

This patch instead replaces the sync_execution flag by a per-UI
tristate flag indicating the command line prompt state:

 enum prompt_state
 {
   /* The command line is blocked simulating synchronous execution.
      This is used to implement the foreground execution commands
      ('run', 'continue', etc.).  We won't display the prompt and
      accept further commands until the execution is actually over.  */
   PROMPT_BLOCKED,

   /* The command finished; display the prompt before returning back to
      the top level.  */
   PROMPT_NEEDED,

   /* We've displayed the prompt already, ready for input.  */
   PROMPTED,
 ;

I think the end result is _much_ clearer than the current code, and,
it addresses the original motivation too.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-06-21  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* annotate.c: Include top.h.
	(async_background_execution_p): Delete.
	(print_value_flags): Check the UI's prompt state rather then
	async_background_execution_p.
	* event-loop.c (start_event_loop): Set the prompt state to
	PROMPT_NEEDED.
	* event-top.c (display_gdb_prompt, async_enable_stdin)
	(async_disable_stdin): Check the current UI's prompt state instead
	of the sync_execution global.
	(command_line_handler): Set the prompt state to PROMPT_NEEDED
	before running a command, and display the prompt if still needed
	afterwards.
	* infcall.c (struct call_thread_fsm) <waiting_ui>: New field.
	(new_call_thread_fsm): New parameter 'waiting_ui'.  Store it.
	(call_thread_fsm_should_stop): Set the prompt state to
	PROMPT_NEEDED.
	(run_inferior_call): Adjust to temporarily set the prompt state to
	PROMPT_BLOCKED instead of using the sync_execution global.
	(call_function_by_hand_dummy): Pass the current UI to
	new_call_thread_fsm.
	* infcmd.c: Include top.h.
	(continue_1): Check the current UI's prompt state instead of the
	sync_execution global.
	(continue_command): Validate global execution state before calling
	prepare_execution_command.
	(step_1): Call all_uis_check_sync_execution_done.
	(attach_post_wait): Don't call async_enable_stdin here.  Remove
	reference to sync_execution.
	* infrun.c (sync_execution): Delete global.
	(follow_fork_inferior)
	(reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup): Check the current
	UI's prompt state instead of the sync_execution global.
	(check_curr_ui_sync_execution_done)
	(all_uis_check_sync_execution_done): New functions.
	(fetch_inferior_event): Call all_uis_check_sync_execution_done
	instead of trying to determine whether the global sync execution
	changed.
	(handle_no_resumed): Check the prompt state of all UIs.
	(normal_stop): Emit the no unwait-for even to all PROMPT_BLOCKED
	UIs.  Emit the "Switching to" notification to all UIs.  Enable
	stdin in all UIs.
	* infrun.h (sync_execution): Delete.
	(all_uis_check_sync_execution_done): Declare.
	* main.c (captured_command_loop): Don't call
	interp_pre_command_loop if the prompt is blocked.
	(catch_command_errors, catch_command_errors_const): Adjust.
	(captured_main): Set the initial prompt state to PROMPT_NEEDED.
	* mi/mi-interp.c (display_mi_prompt): Set the prompt state to
	PROMPTED.
	(mi_interpreter_resume): Don't clear sync_execution.  Remove hack
	comment.
	(mi_execute_command_input_handler): Set the prompt state to
	PROMPT_NEEDED before executing the command, and only display the
	prompt if the prompt state is PROMPT_NEEDED afterwards.
	(mi_on_resume_1): Adjust to check the prompt state.
	* target.c (target_terminal_inferior): Adjust to check the prompt
	state.
	* top.c (wait_sync_command_done, maybe_wait_sync_command_done)
	(execute_command): Check the current UI's prompt state instead of
	sync_execution.
	* top.h (enum prompt_state): New.
	(struct ui) <prompt_state>: New field.
	(ALL_UIS): New macro.
