[PATCH] partial fix PR 14777: Add abbrev cmd 'fo' for 'forward-search'.

Hi,
As reported in gdb/14777, when typing 'fo' in CLI, we will get,

(gdb) fo
Ambiguous command "fo": focus, forward-search.

which is inconsistent to the doc about command 'forward-search' that
"abbreviate the command name as fo".

We can fix this problem in two ways, either remove this line above
from the doc or define "fo" as the abbreviated command of
'forward-search'. IMO, latter is better, so this is what this patch
does.

Regression tested on x86_64-linux. Is it OK?

'forward-search' as 'fo'.
