Allow "unlimited" abbreviations

Currently we can abbreviate "on/off/enable/disable/yes/no" in boolean
settings,

  (gdb) set non-stop of
  (gdb) set non-stop en

we can abbreviate the items of enumeration commands,

  (gdb) set print frame-arguments scal
  (gdb) set scheduler-locking rep

but we cannot abbreviate "unlimited" in integer commands.

 (gdb) set print elements u
 No symbol "u" in current context.

This commit fixes that.

Testcases will be in gdb.base/settings.exp and gdb.base/options.exp,
in following patches.
