[Bug gdb/11750] New: "define" does not properly recognize a nested define

["steffen dot dettmer at gmail dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Inside a `define' command, `define' cannot be nested, but this
would be useful for example to add/change hooks.

The message:

  This command cannot be used at the top level

can appear (when reaching the outer `end' in a `source'd file).

(gdb) define z
Type commands for definition of "z".
End with a line saying just "end".
>define hook-stop
>echo hi
>end
(gdb)

`define' does not properly recognize a nested define.

Affected versions are at least 6.8 and 7.1.
