interpreter-exec is both an mi command and a console command. The
interpreter chapter in the gdb manual (gdb.texinfo proper, that is),
defines this command. I've added a @kindex for it where it is described. I
can add a cross-reference to the equivalent MI command when I commit the
MI changes (yes, this command is documented in gdbmi.texinfo, but only on
the branch).

Here's what I've done, which admittedly is the path of least resistance
(aka typing ;-). Please make recommendation if you'd like to see
something different.
