I'm happy with that.  As a bonus this solves the above problem too, so
'tui enable' returns to the last active layout.

Add new commands to specifically enable and disable tui mode.  This is
in addition to the readline bindings, but might be easier for a user to
discover if they accidentally end up in tui mode.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* NEWS: Mention 'tui enable' and 'tui disable'.
	* tui/tui.c (tui_enable_command): New function.
	(tui_disable_command): New function.
	(_initialize_tui): New function.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.texinfo (TUI): Include 'tui enable' in the introduction.
	(TUI Commands): Add 'tui enable' and 'tui disable' details.
