gdb/testsuite: change mi_gdb_start to take a list of flags
After this previous commit I was thinking about the API of
mi_gdb_start. I felt that the idea of passing flags as separate
arguments and using 'args' to gather these into a list, though clever,
was not an intuitive API.
In this commit I modify mi_gdb_start so that it expects a single
argument, which should be a list of flags. Thus, where we previously
would have said:
mi_gdb_start separate-mi-tty separate-inferior-tty
We would now say:
mi_gdb_start { separate-mi-tty separate-inferior-tty }
However, it turns out we never actually call mi_gdb_start passing two
arguments in this way at all. We do in some places do this:
mi_gdb_start separate-inferior-tty
But that's fine, a single string like this works equally well as a
single item list, so this will not need updating.
There is also one place where we do this:
eval mi_gdb_start $start_ops
where $start_ops is a list that might contains 0, 1, or 2 items. The
eval here is used to expand the $start_ops list so mi_gdb_start sees
the list contents as separate arguments. In this case we just need to
drop the use of eval.
I think that the new API is more intuitive, but others might
disagree, in which case I can drop this change.
There should be no change in what is tested after this commit.
