Why not just use -gdb-set?

maint set linux-async   -->  set linux-async  -->  -gdb-set linux-async
maint set non-stop      -->  set  non-stop    -->  -gdb-set non-stop

I thought the idea of -list-features was to give the frontend a simple means of
finding out which MI commands a version of Gdb will accept.  Why would a
frontend want to do "-disable-feature frozen-varobjs"?
