Andrew Burgess 9d2d8a16e1 gdb: add new version style
This commit adds a new 'version' style, which replaces the hard coded
styling currently used for GDB's version string.  GDB's version number
is displayed:

  1. In the output of 'show version', and

  2. When GDB starts up (without the --quiet option).

This new style can only ever affect the first of these two cases as
the second case is printed before GDB has processed any initialization
files, or processed any GDB commands passed on the command line.

However, because the first case exists I think this commit makes
sense, it means the style is no longer hard coded into GDB, and we can
add some tests that the style can be enabled/disabled correctly.

This commit is an alternative to a patch Tom posted here:

  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169820.html

I've used the style name 'version' instead of 'startup' to reflect
what the style is actually used for.  If other parts of the startup
text end up being highlighted I imagine they would get their own
styles based on what is being highlighted.  I feel this is more inline
with the other style names that are already in use within GDB.

I also decoupled adding this style from the idea of startup options,
and the possibility of auto-saving startup options.  Those ideas can
be explored in later patches.

This commit should probably be considered only a partial solution to
issue PR cli/25956.  The colours of the style are no longer hard
coded, however, it is still impossible to change the styling of the
version string displayed during startup, so in one sense, the styling
of that string is still "hard coded".  A later patch will hopefully
extend GDB to allow it to adjust the version styling before the
initial version string is printed.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
