PR cli/21688: Fix multi-line/inline command differentiation

This bug is a regression caused by the following commit:

  604c4576fd is the first bad commit

The problem happens because, on cli/cli-script.c:process_next_line,
GDB is not using the command line string to identify which command to
run, but it instead using the 'struct cmd_list_element *' that is
obtained by using the mentioned string.  The problem with that is that
the 'struct cmd_list_element *' doesn't have any information on
whether the command issued by the user is a multi-line or inline one.

A multi-line command is a command that will necessarily be composed of
more than 1 line.  For example:

  (gdb) if 1
  >python
   >print ('hello')
   >end
  >end

As can be seen in the example above, the 'python' command actually
"opens" a new command line (represented by the change in the
indentation) that will then be used to enter Python code.  OTOH, an
inline command is a command that is "self-contained" in a single line,
for example:

  (gdb) if 1
  >python print ('hello')
  >end

This Python command is a one-liner, and therefore there is no other
Python code that can be entered for this same block.  There is also no
change in the indentation.

So, the fix is somewhat simple: we have to revert the change and use
the full command line string passed to process_next_line in order to
identify whether we're dealing with a multi-line or an inline command.
This commit does just that.  As can be seen, this regression also
affects other languages, like guile or the compile framework.  To make
things clearer, I decided to create a new helper function responsible
for identifying a non-inline command.

Testcase is attached.
