As the structure was so small, and only used in that one function, I
moved the structure into the function entirely (and added an updated
comment to both the structure, and the function).  I had a little look
through GDB and there are a few other cases of structures declared
within a function, so hopefully this is OK.  Let me know if you'd
rather see this moved back out again.

Done.

gdb: Split func_command into two parts.

The func_command function is used to emulate the dbx 'func' command.
However, finding a stack frame based on function name might be a useful
feature, and so the core of func_command is now split out into a
separate function.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* stack.c (select_and_print_frame): Delete.
	(struct function_bounds): Move struct within function.
	(func_command): Most content moved into new function
	find_frame_for_function, use new function, print result, add
	function comment.
	(find_frame_for_function): New function, now returns a result.
