[PATCH v2 1/5] gdb: add lookup_cmd_exact to simplify a common pattern

[Marco Barisione via Gdb-patches <gdb-patches@sourceware.org>]

In code dealing with commands, there's a pattern repeated a few times of
calling lookup_cmd with some speficic arguments and then using strcmp
on the returned command to check for an exact match.
As a later patch would add a few more similar lines of code, this patch
adds a new lookup_cmd_exact function which simplify this use case.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* cli/cli-decode.c (lookup_cmd_exact): Add.
	* cli/cli-script.c (do_define_command): Use lookup_cmd_exact.
	(define_prefix_command): Ditto.
	* command.h: Add lookup_cmd_exact.
