Fix logging redirection bug with pager
I noticed yesterday that if gdb output is redirected to a file, the pager will still be active. This is irritating, because the output isn't actually visible -- just the pager prompt. Looking in bugzilla, I found that this had been filed 17 years ago, as PR cli/8798. This patch fixes the bug. It changes the pagination code to query the particular ui-file to see if paging is allowable. The ui-file implementations are changed so that only the stdout implementation and a tee (where one sub-file is stdout) can page. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8798
