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.
