Fix racy output matching in gdb.base/completion.exp
Testing with:
$ make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.base/completion.exp"
Exposes a testcase bug that can result in racy fails:
FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: command-name completion limiting using tab character
ERROR: Undefined command "".
FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: symbol-name completion limiting using tab character
FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: symbol-name completion limiting using complete command
testsuite/gdb.log shows:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/completion.exp: set max-completions 5
p^G
passcount path print print-object printf
*** List may be truncated, max-completions reached. ***
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: command-name completion limiting using tab character
pcomplete p
Undefined command: "pcomplete". Try "help".
(gdb) ERROR: Undefined command "".
The problem is that the expect buffer can get filled with partial
output that ends in the gdb prompt, and so the default FAIL inside
gdb_test_multiple matches.
Fix that by splitting the gdb_test_multiple in two stages. Since that
is done in more than one place in the testcase, move the otherwise
duplicate code to helper procedures.

* gdb.base/completion.exp (ignore_and_resync, test_tab_complete):
New procedures, factored out from ...
(top level): ... here, and adjusted to avoid expecting beyond the
prompt in one go.
