(gud-gdb-complete-command): New defun to support true

GDB completion in the GUD buffer.  Requires assistance from
GDB in the form of the `complete' command.
(gud-gdb-complete-in-progress, gud-gdb-complete-string,
gud-gdb-complete-break, gud-gdb-complete-list,
gud-gdb-complete-filter): New.
(gdb): Bind TAB to gud-gdb-complete-command.
