bug#29868: [PATCH 0/1] regex stack overflow in gdb-jsonify-buffer

In some of my C++ projects, gdb will happily print 60+k characters for the value
of a local, which causes a stack overflow in the regex used by
gdb-jsonify-buffer. This patch instead looks for the start of a string literal
and uses (forward-sexp) to skip it, which was proposed in the answer to the
stackoverflow question above. This results in the same output in the tests that
I've done, but I wouldn't say it's been extensively tested.
