[RFA] New variable, 'max-completion-results'.

The following patch adds a new user-visible variable to GDB, 'max-completion-results'.

It is used by the completion functions in symtab.c to limit the maximum number of results returned by the completion function, and defaults to 'unlimited'. I find it particuarly useful when using GDB under emacs, to prevent situations where hitting <tab> at the wrong time can lead to hundreds of thousands of results having to be sorted by complete_command.
