gdbhooks: Make dot viewer configurable
This adds a new GDB parameter 'gcc-dot-cmd' which allows the user to
configure the command used to render the CFG within dot-fn.
E.g. with this patch the user can change their dot viewer like so:
(gdb) show gcc-dot-cmd
The current value of 'gcc-dot-cmd' is "dot -Tx11".
(gdb) set gcc-dot-cmd xdot
(gdb) dot-fn # opens in xdot
The second patch in this series adds a hook which users can define in
their .gdbinit in order to be called when the GCC extensions have
finished loading, thus allowing users to automatically configure
gcc-dot-cmd as desired in their .gdbinit.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* gdbhooks.py (GCCDotCmd): New.
(gcc_dot_cmd): New. Use it ...
(DotFn.invoke): ... here.
