[binutils-gdb/gdb-7.12-branch] Fix PR mi/20431 - Missing MI prompts after sync execution MI command (-exec-continue, etc.) errors


*** TEST RESULTS FOR COMMIT 4d38db46f6f6480ee33844164383ce40e5fc2440 ***

Fix PR mi/20431 - Missing MI prompts after sync execution MI command (-exec-continue, etc.) errors

gdb 7.11 introduced an MI regression: a failing MI sync execution
command misses printing the MI prompt, and then all subsequent command
miss it too:

 $ gdb-7.11.1 -i=mi
 [...]
 p 1
 &"p 1\n"
 ~"$1 = 1"
 ~"\n"
 ^done
 (gdb)                                        <<< prompted ok
 -exec-continue
 ^error,msg="The program is not being run."   <<< missing prompt after this
 print 1
 &"print 1\n"
 ~"$2 = 1"
 ~"\n"
 ^done                                        <<< missing prompt after this


gdb 7.10.1 behaved correctly, even with "set mi-async on":

 -exec-continue
 ^error,msg="The program is not being run."
 (gdb)                                        <<< prompted ok

etc.

      Merge async and sync code paths some more
  [...]

The problem is that when an exception is thrown, we leave the prompt
state set to PROMPT_BLOCKED, and then mi_execute_command_input_handler
doesn't print the prompt.  It used to work because before that patch,
we happened to skip disabling stdin if the current target didn't do
async (which it never does before execution).

I was surprised to find that this bug isn't caught by the testsuite,
so I made a thorough test that tests all combinations of pairs of:

 - a failing synchronous execution command
 - a failing non-execution command
 - a non-failing command
