To implement the "maint space" command, gdb depends upon "environ"
being located near where sbrk() starts allocating space.  This patch
removes that assumption by explicitly saving the base address at the
entry to main() and also simplifies the code.

	* main.c (display_space_base): Add global variable.
	(main): Initialize display_space_base by calling sbrk.

	* main.c (captured_main): Add display_space_base decl, remove environ
	decl and reference, remove lim variable, use display_space_base.
	* top.c (command_loop): Ditto.
	* event-top.c (command_handler): Ditto.
	(command_line_handler_continuation): Ditto.

I remember looking at that code a year or two ago and wondering
what in the world it was doing with &environ.

I proofread this patch and it looks correct to me, no problems found.
I have not tested it though.
