[PATCH 1/2] gdb: remove filtered_printing_initialized function

[PATCH 1/2] gdb: remove filtered_printing_initialized function

[Simon Marchi]

Since commit ebfc93611b64 ("Remove unnecessary calls to wrap_here and
gdb_flush", 2022-01-03), the filtered_printing_initialized function is
only used in utils.c, by internal_vproblem.  Remove it and its
declaration in utils.h.  Rename the filter_initialized variable it
returned to filtered_printing_initialized, and use it directly.

Move the variable up so that it is defined before internal_vproblem.
Replace its comment, which was really about the wrap buffer variables
and a general description of the wrap mechanism.  Fix the comment of
set_width, which was also stale.

The description of the wrapping mechanism in that old comment was
interesting to keep though, so add an updated version of it to the
comment of pager_file::m_wrap_buffer.

[PATCH 2/2] gdb: remove set_width

[Simon Marchi]

set_width does not do anything useful anymore.  What remains is:

 - Calling init_page_info if chars_per_line is 0.  This can't happen:
   all callers call set_screen_size just before, which changes a
   chars_per_line of 0 to UINT_MAX.

 - Setting filtered_printing_initialized.  This only matters the first
   time, when called from init_page_info, from gdb_init.  The other
   callers (the "set width" command, set_screen_width_and_height and
   ~set_batch_flag_and_restore_page_info) can only run after that.

Remove set_width, and set filtered_printing_initialized directly in
init_page_info.  The "set width" and "set height" callbacks are now
identical, so replace them with a single set_screen_size_command.

Seems reasonable.
