[PATCH v2] Add shortcuts for "nexti" and "stepi" commands in Single-Key mode

[PATCH v2] Add shortcuts for "nexti" and "stepi" commands in Single-Key mode

[b7.10110111]

From: Ruslan Kabatsayev <b7.10110111@gmail.com>

Currently, "layout asm" is not so useful as "layout src" with Single-Key mode:
you have to use multi-key commands like "ni" and "si" to do single-stepping.
This patch adds, in addition to "next" and "step" commands, corresponding
assembly-level ones - "nexti" and "stepi" - to Single-Key mode, with the
shortcuts of "o" (from "step Over") and "i" (from "Step Into") respectively.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* tui/tui.c: Add "nexti" and "stepi" to the tui_commands list
	* doc/gdb.texinfo: Document the new shortcuts in Single-Key mode

The "i" in "nexti" and "ni" stands for "instruction", not "into".

Personally, I'm not sure this is worth it, but then I don't use TUI
frequently enough to have my opinion count.

If the code change is accepted, the documentation review is below.

The ChangeLog entries need to state the function/data structure in
which the change is made (node name for the manual).  Also,
gdb.texinfo has a separate ChangeLog in gdb/doc/.

        ^^
We leave two spaces between sentences.

Thanks.

Here I refer to the "i" the shortcut, not "i" in the "nexti" command.
We do need some way of memorizing the shortcut key, don't we? See the
discussion in the thread of the previous version of the patch. I may
have to make the wording clearer in the documentation though.
