    gdb/testsuite: add -inferior-args option to runto
    
    Add a new -inferior-args option to proc runto, to allow passing
    arguments to the test program.  Its value is forwarded to gdb_run_cmd,
    which does the right thing, including with the native-gdbserver board,
    where arguments need to be passed on the gdbserver command line.
    
    The option is named -inferior-args (rather than the shorter -args)
    because parse_args sets a variable in the caller's scope using the
    option name.  Naming it "-args" would clash with the "args" parameter.
    
    Subsequent patches use this new option.
