gdb: Switch "info types" over to use the gdb::options framework
Adds a new -q flag to "info types" using the gdb::option framework. This -q flag is similar to the -q flag already present for "info variables" and "info functions". gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention adding -q option to "info types". * symtab.c (struct info_types_options): New struct. (info_types_options_defs): New variable. (make_info_types_options_def_group): New function. (info_types_command): Use gdb::option framework to parse options. (info_types_command_completer): New function. (_initialize_symtab): Extend the help text on "info types" and register command completer. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Symbols): Add information about -q flag to "info types".
