Pedro Alves c3f814a143 Fix paginate-*.exp races
Jan pointed out in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00553.html> that
these testcases have racy results:

  gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.exp
  gdb.base/paginate-after-ctrl-c-running.exp
  gdb.base/paginate-bg-execution.exp
  gdb.base/paginate-execution-startup.exp
  gdb.base/paginate-inferior-exit.exp

This is easily reproducible with "read1" from:

  [reproducer for races of expect incomplete reads]
  http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12649

The '-notransfer -re "<return>" { exp_continue }' trick in the current
tests doesn't actually work.

The issue that led to the -notransfer trick was that

  "---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---"

has two "<return>"s.  If one wants gdb_test_multiple to not hit the
built-in "<return>" match that results in FAIL, one has to expect the
pagination prompt in chunks, first up to the first "<return>", then
again, up to the second.  Something around these lines:

  gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
      -re "<return>" {
	  exp_continue
      }
      -re "to quit ---" {
	  pass $test
      }
  }

The intent was for -notransfer+exp_continue to make expect fetch more
input, and rerun the matches against the now potentially fuller
buffer, and then eventually the -re that includes the full pagination
prompt regex would match instead (because it's listed higher up, it
would match first).  But, once that "<return>" -notransfer -re
matches, it keeps re-matching forever.  It seems like with
exp_continue, expect immediately retries matching, instead of first
reading in more data into the buffer, if available.

Fix this like I should have done in the first place.  There's actually
no good reason for gdb_test_multiple to only match "<return>".  We can
make gdb_test_multiple expect the whole pagination prompt text
instead, which is store in the 'pagination_prompt' global (similar to
'gdb_prompt').  Then a gdb_test_multiple caller that doesn't want the
default match to trigger, because it wants to see one pagination
prompt, does simply:

  gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
      -re "$pagination_prompt$" {
	  pass $test
      }
  }

which is just like when we don't want the default $gdb_prompt match
within gdb_test_multiple to trigger, like:

  gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
      -re "$gdb_prompt $" {
	  pass $test
      }
  }

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.  In addition, I've let the racy tests run
all in parallel in a loop for 30 minutes, and they never failed.
