Fix pager bugs with style output
I believe this fixes all the pager output problems with styling that
Philippe pointed out, plus at least one more. The patch is somewhat
hard to reason about, so you may wish to give it a try. Even writing
the tests was hard.
This removes the style caching, because it was difficult to keep the
style cache correct in all cases. Since this would cause more style
escapes to be emitted, instead it changes fputs_styled to try to avoid
unnecessary changes.
Another bug was that the wrap buffer was not flushed in the case where
wrap_column==0. In the old (pre-patch series) code, characters were
directly emitted in this case; so flushing the wrap buffer here
restores this behavior.
On error the wrap buffer must be emptied. Otherwise, interrupting
output can leave characters in the buffer that will be emitted later.
As discussed on gdb-patches, this fixes the ada-lang.c problem where
filtered and unfiltered printing were mixed. Now user_select_syms
uses filtered printing, which is what its callees were already doing.
Finally, it was possible for source line highlighting to be garbled
(and invalid escape sequences emitted) if the pager was invoked at the
wrong spot. To fix this, the patch arranges for source line escapes
to always be emitted as a unit.
