[rfc] s/ui_out_list/ui_out_tupple/

[Andrew Cagney <ac131313@cygnus.com>]

Hello,

The attatched patch is a deliberate step sideways for the UI/MI code.

At present, the UI code uses ui_out_list*() to create the output while 
the MI code outputs tupples. The attatched, patch changes the UI code so 
that it it creates tupples instead of lists making the UI and MI 
consistent. To ease my pain, I added ui_out_tupple*() wrappers.

By taking a step sideways, I've removed the need to review/update 
individual MI commands in a single hit. Instead it can be done 
incrementally.

Fair enough.

Thanks.

P.S.: Thank you Michael Snyder, for the heads up.  My SourceNav got the
reduced gdbtk-cmds.c where this call was before but I did not yet add
the new files where the call is now, so I was not seeing the call in
gdbtk land.
