Initial support for variant parts

This adds some initial support for variant parts to gdbtypes.h.  A
variant part is represented as a union.  The union has a flag
indicating that it has a discriminant, and information about the
discriminant is attached using the dynamic property system.

	* value.h (value_union_variant): Declare.
	* valops.c (value_union_variant): New function.
	* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_FLAG_DISCRIMINATED_UNION): New macro.
	(struct discriminant_info): New.
	(enum dynamic_prop_node_kind) <DYN_PROP_DISCRIMINATED>: New
	enumerator.
	(struct main_type) <flag_discriminated_union>: New field.
