gdb: make "set debug timestamp" work nice with new debug printouts

New in v2:

- implement by modifying vprintf_unfiltered rather than
  debug_prefixed_vprintf.

I tried enabling debug timestamps, and realized that it doesn't play
well with the revamp of the debug printouts I've been working on:

    $ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory -ex "set debug infrun" -ex "set debug timestamp" a.out
    Reading symbols from a.out...
    (gdb) start
    Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x1131: file test.c, line 2.
    Starting program: /home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb-all-targets/gdb/a.out

    939897.915464 stealing global queue of threads to step, length = 0

    939897.915567 [infrun] operator():
    939897.915601 step-over queue now empty
    939897.915633
    939897.915690 [infrun] proceed:
    939897.915729 resuming process 636244

    939897.916661 [infrun] target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
    [infrun]   636244.636244.0 [process 636244],
    [infrun]   status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
    939897.916734 [infrun] handle_inferior_event:
    939897.916768 status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
    939897.916799

This is due to debug_prefixed_vprintf being implemented as three
separate calls to debug_printf / debug_vprintf.  Each call gets its own
timestamp and newline, curtesy of vprintf_unfiltered.

My first idea was to add a "line_start" parameter to debug_vprintf,
allowing the caller to say whether the print is the start of the line.
A debug timestamp would only be printed if line_start was true.
However, that was much more invasive than the simple fix implemented in
this patch.

My second idea was to make debug_prefixed_vprintf use string_printf and
issue a single call to debug_printf.  That would however prevent future
use of styling in the debug messages.

What is implemented in this patch is the same as is implemented in
GDBserver: the timestamp-printing code in GDB tracks whether the last
debug output ended with a newline.  If so, it prints a timestamp on the
next debug output.

After the fix, it looks like this:

    $ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory -ex "set debug infrun" -ex "set debug timestamp" a.out
    Reading symbols from a.out...
    (gdb) start
    Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x1131: file test.c, line 2.
