PR tui/31449 reports a SIGFPE when the debuginfod query happens while enabling
TUI using the "tui enable" command:
...
Thread 1 "gdb" received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
0x0000000001021084 in tui_inject_newline_into_command_window ()
    at /data/vries/gdb/src/gdb/tui/tui-io.c:1096
1096	      py += px / tui_cmd_win ()->width;
...
due to divide-by-zero because tui_cmd_win ()->width == 0.

The corresponding backtrace is:
...

The problem is that the command window is used (during initialization of the
source window) before it's properly initialized.

A patch [1] was posted for this PR, which fixes the problem by calling
a function that will force the debuginfod query to happen before enabling the
TUI:
...
 static void
 tui_enable_command (const char *args, int from_tty)
 {
+  /* Trigger any debuginfod-related y/n prompts now to avoid having
+     it occur during tui initialization.  Handling the prompt while
+     tui windows are initializing can cause crashes.  */
+  debuginfod_is_enabled ();
+
   tui_enable ();
 }
...

While that approach works fine, it requires us to hard-code each query that
may happen.

[ A review comment reported a problem when using C-x C-a to enable TUI instead
of "tui enable", not fixed by the previous patch.  It's also not fixed by this
patch. Filed as PR33794. ]

This patch takes another approach: add a layout with only the command window,
and activate that layout first, making sure that we finalize the
initialization of the command window before we activate the initial layout.

While that fixes the divide-by-zero, the query still looks slightly odd
because '\n' does a line feed but no a carriage return, so each new line has
more leading spaces.

Fix this by moving the activation of the initial layout to after tui_setup_io.

Tested on x86_64-linux.  [ Doesn't reproduce on aarch64-linux, because there a
divide-by-zero just returns zero. ]
