The layout command supports the layout names $FREGS, $GREGS, $SREGS,
and $REGS. The intention of these layout names was to display the tui
register window with a specific set of registers.
First, these layout names no longer work, and haven't for a while, using
any of them will just result in switching to the general register view.
Second there is already the command 'tui reg GROUP' command to set the
displayed register set to GROUP, so making the layout command also
control the register set feels like unnecessary overloading of the
layout command.
This commit removes all code relating to supporting the register set
specific names from the layout command. Afterwards the user can select
an available layout using the layout command, and control the choice of
register set using the 'tui reg GROUP' command.

PR tui/16138 is about failure to initialize curses resulting in GDB
exiting instead of throwing an error. E.g.:
$ TERM=foo gdb
(gdb) layout asm
Error opening terminal: foo.
$
The problem is that we're calling initscr to initialize the screen.
As mentioned in
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xcurses/initscr.html:
If errors occur, initscr() writes an appropriate error message to
standard error and exits.
^^^^^
Instead, we should use newterm:
"A program that needs an indication of error conditions, so it can
continue to run in a line-oriented mode if the terminal cannot support
a screen-oriented program, would also use this function."
After the patch:
$ TERM=foo gdb -q -nx
(gdb) layout asm
Cannot enable the TUI: error opening terminal [TERM=foo]
(gdb)
And then PR tui/17519 is about GDB not validating whether the terminal
has the necessary capabilities when enabling the TUI. If one tries to
enable the TUI with TERM=dumb (and e.g., from a shell within emacs),
GDB ends up with a clear screen, the cursor is placed at the
bottom/right corner of the screen, there's no prompt, typing shows no
echo, and there's no indication of what's going on. c-x,a gets you
out of the TUI, but it's completely non-obvious.
After the patch, we get:
$ TERM=dumb gdb -q -nx
(gdb) layout asm
Cannot enable the TUI: terminal doesn't support cursor addressing [TERM=dumb]
(gdb)
While at it, I've moved all the tui_allowed_p validation to
tui_enable, and expanded the error messages. Previously we'd get:
$ gdb -q -nx -i=mi
(gdb)
layout asm
&"layout asm\n"
&"TUI mode not allowed\n"
^error,msg="TUI mode not allowed"
and:
$ gdb -q -nx -ex "layout asm" > foo
TUI mode not allowed
While now we get:
$ gdb -q -nx -i=mi
(gdb)
layout asm
&"layout asm\n"
&"Cannot enable the TUI when the interpreter is 'mi'\n"
^error,msg="Cannot enable the TUI when the interpreter is 'mi'"
(gdb)
and:
$ gdb -q -nx -ex "layout asm" > foo
Cannot enable the TUI when output is not a terminal
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
