gdb: introduce status enum for displaced step prepare/finish
This is a preparatory patch to reduce the size of the diff of the upcoming main patch. It introduces enum types for the return values of displaced step "prepare" and "finish" operations. I find that this expresses better the intention of the code, rather than returning arbitrary integer values (-1, 0 and 1) which are difficult to remember. That makes the code easier to read. I put the new enum types in a new displaced-stepping.h file, because I introduce that file in a later patch anyway. Putting it there avoids having to move it later. There is one change in behavior for displaced_step_finish: it currently returns 0 if the thread wasn't doing a displaced step and 1 if the thread was doing a displaced step which was executed successfully. It turns out that this distinction is not needed by any caller, so I've merged these two cases into "_OK", rather than adding an extra enumerator. gdb/ChangeLog: * infrun.c (displaced_step_prepare_throw): Change return type to displaced_step_prepare_status. (displaced_step_prepare): Likewise. (displaced_step_finish): Change return type to displaced_step_finish_status. (resume_1): Adjust. (stop_all_threads): Adjust. * displaced-stepping.h: New file.
