Factor out final completion match string building

We have several places doing essentially the same thing; factor them
out to a central place.  Some of the places overallocate for no good
reason, or use strcat unnecessarily.  The centralized version is more
precise and to the point.

(I considered making the gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr overload version of
make_completer_match_str try to realloc (not xrealloc) probably
avoiding an allocation in most cases, but that'd be probably overdoing
it, and also, now that I'm writing this I thought I'd try to see how
could we ever get to filename_completer with "text != word", but I
couldn't figure it out.  Running the testsuite with 'gdb_assert (text
== word);' never tripped on the assertion either.  So post gdb 8.1,
I'll probably propose a patch to simplify filename_completer a bit,
and the gdb::unique_xmalloc_str overload can be removed then.)

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* completer.c: Use gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr and
	make_completion_match_str.
	(make_completion_match_str_1): New.
	(make_completion_match_str(const char *, const char *,
	const char *)): New.
	(make_completion_match_str(gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> &&,
	const char *, const char *)): New.
	* completer.h (make_completion_match_str(const char *,
	const char *, const char *)): New.
	(make_completion_match_str(gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> &&,
	const char *, const char *)): New.
