Andrew Burgess 4fb7bc4b14 readline: back-port changes needed to properly detect EOF
This commit is a partial back-port of this upstream readline commit:

  commit 002d31aa5f5929eb32d0e0e2e8b8d35d99e59961
  Author: Chet Ramey <chet.ramey@case.edu>
  Date:   Thu Mar 3 11:11:47 2022 -0500

      add rl_eof_found to public API; fix pointer aliasing problems  \
            with history-search-backward; fix a display problem with \
            runs of invisible characters at the end of a physical    \
            screen line

I have only pulled in the parts of this commit that relate to the new
rl_eof_found global, and the RL_STATE_EOF state flag.  These changes
are needed in order to fix PR cli/28833, and are discussed in this
thread to the bug-readline mailing list:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2022-02/msg00021.html

The above commit is not yet in any official readline release, but my
hope is that now it has been merged into the readline tree it should
be safe enough to back port this fix to GDB's tree.

At some point in the future we will inevitably want to roll forward
the version of readline that we maintain in the binutils-gdb
repository.  When that day comes the changes in this commit can be
replaced with the latest upstream readline code, as I have not changed
the meaning of this code at all from what is in upstream readline.

This commit alone does not fix the PR cli/28833 issue, for that see
the next commit, which changes GDB itself.

This is an import of readline that is used by gdb.

To send patches, follow the gdb patch submission instructions in
../gdb/CONTRIBUTE.  For maintainers, see ../gdb/MAINTAINERS.

If you need to patch readline, please document the changes here.

To import, copy the upstream readline sources into the "readline"
subdirectory, remembering to (1) remove any files that were deleted
upstream, and (2) merge the one small configure.ac patch that gdb
carries.

If your import removes the need for a local patch, please remember to
update this file.

Individual upstream readline patches can be directly imported using
"git am".  You can see the current patch level by looking at
readline/patchlevel.
