Philippe Waroquiers 136afab8c7 Implement show | set may-call-functions [on|off]
Inferior function calls are powerful but might lead to undesired
results such as crashes when calling nested functions (frequently
used in particular in Ada).

This implements a GDB setting to disable calling inferior functions.

Note: the idea is that if/when the 'slash command' patch is pushed,
that this setting can be changed e.g. by using the shortcut /c.

This is version 2 of the patch.  It handles all the received comments,
mostly replace 'can-call' by 'may-call', and avoid using
'inferior function call' in factor of 'calling function in the program'.
