[PATCH v8 23/35] dyndbg: split multi-query strings with %

[Jim Cromie]

Multi-query strings have long allowed:

  modprobe drm dyndbg="class DRM_UT_CORE +p; class DRM_UT_KMS +p"
  modprobe drm dyndbg=<<EOX
     class DRM_UT_CORE +p
     class DRM_UT_KMS +p
  EOX

More recently, the need for quoting was avoided by treating a comma
like a space/token-terminator:

  modprobe drm dyndbg=class,DRM_UT_CORE,+p\;class,DRM_UT_KMS,+p

That worked, but it left unfinished business; the semicolon in the
example above is a shell special-char (one of the bash control
operators), so it is brittle when passed in/down/around scripts.  In
particular, it fails when passed to vng (virtme-ng).

So this patch adds '%' to the existing ';' and '\n' multi-cmd
separators, which is more shell-friendly, and also avoids quoting and
escaping hassles.

NOTE: it does break format matching on '%' patterns:

bash-5.2# ddcmd 'format "find-me: %foo" +p'
[  203.900581] dyndbg: read 26 bytes from userspace
[  203.900883] dyndbg: query 0: "format "find-me: " mod:*
[  203.901118] dyndbg: unclosed quote: find-me:
[  203.901355] dyndbg: tokenize failed
[  203.901529] dyndbg: query 1: "foo" +p" mod:*
[  203.901957] dyndbg: split into words: "foo"" "+p"
[  203.902243] dyndbg: op='+' flags=0x1 maskp=0xffffffff
[  203.902458] dyndbg: expecting pairs of match-spec <value>
[  203.902703] dyndbg: query parse failed
[  203.902871] dyndbg: processed 2 queries, with 0 matches, 2 errs
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

The '%' splits the input into 2 queries, and both fail.  Given the
limited utility of matching against the working parts of a format
string "foo: %d bar %s", nothing is actually lost here.
