This commit is a partial back-port of this upstream readline commit:
commit 002d31aa5f5929eb32d0e0e2e8b8d35d99e59961
Author: Chet Ramey <chet.ramey@case.edu>
Date: Thu Mar 3 11:11:47 2022 -0500
add rl_eof_found to public API; fix pointer aliasing problems \
with history-search-backward; fix a display problem with \
runs of invisible characters at the end of a physical \
screen line
I have only pulled in the parts of this commit that relate to the new
rl_eof_found global, and the RL_STATE_EOF state flag. These changes
are needed in order to fix PR cli/28833, and are discussed in this
thread to the bug-readline mailing list:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2022-02/msg00021.html
The above commit is not yet in any official readline release, but my
hope is that now it has been merged into the readline tree it should
be safe enough to back port this fix to GDB's tree.
At some point in the future we will inevitably want to roll forward
the version of readline that we maintain in the binutils-gdb
repository. When that day comes the changes in this commit can be
replaced with the latest upstream readline code, as I have not changed
the meaning of this code at all from what is in upstream readline.
This commit alone does not fix the PR cli/28833 issue, for that see
the next commit, which changes GDB itself.

readline turns out to be a bit of a stumbling block for the project to
move gdbsupport (and then gdbserver) to the top-level.
The issue is that readline headers are intended to be included with
names like "readline/readline.h". To support this, gdb effectively
adds a -I option pointing to the top-level source directory -- but,
importantly, this option is not used when the system readline is used.
For gdbsupport, a -I option like this would always be needed, but that
in turn would break the system readline case. This was PR build/17077,
fixed in commit a8a5dbcab8df0b3a9e04745d4fe8d64740acb323.
Previously, we had discussed this on the gdb-patches list in terms of
removing readline from the tree
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00317.html
However, Eli expressed some concerns, and Joel did as well (off-list).
Given those concerns, and the fact that a patch-free local readline is
relatively new in gdb (it was locally patched for years), I changed my
mind and decided to handle this situation by moving the readline
sources down a level.
That is, upstream readline is now in readline/readline, and the
top-level readline directory just contains the minimal configury
needed to build that.
This fixes the problem because, when gdb unconditionally adds a
-I$(top_srcdir), this will not find readline headers. A separate -I
will be needed instead, which is exactly what's needed for
--with-system-readline.
