[PATCH] commands: add varinfo command

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

Tab completion is very helpful, but it's not sufficient for enum-typed
global variables. To know what the permissible values are, devinfo
global must be consulted, which can have a lot of output.

As alternative, let's add a varinfo command that can be used together
with parameter tab completion and that will just print out the
parameters that start with the specified string.
