Readline 8.0 has a feature that lets an application name a keymap.
This in turn makes it simpler for users to bind keys in keymaps in
their .inputrc.
This patch gives a name to the TUI SingleKey keymap, so that
additional bindings can be made there. For example:
$if gdb
set keymap SingleKey
"X": "echo hello\\n\n"
$endif
The call to rl_initialize, in tui_initialize_readline, had to be
removed so that .inputrc was not read too early. Note that Readline
explicitly documents that this call is not needed.

--with-system-readline, only readline >= 7.0 can be used.
+* The TUI SingleKey keymap is now named "SingleKey". This can be used

SingleKey mode is restored. The only way to permanently leave
this mode is by typing @kbd{q} or @kbd{C-x s}.
+@cindex SingleKey keymap name
+If @value{GDBN} was built with Readline 8.0 or later, the TUI
+SingleKey keymap will be named @samp{SingleKey}. This can be used in
+@file{.inputrc} to add additional bindings to this keymap.
