Nils-Christian Kempke 3396471b4c dwarf, fortran: add support for DW_TAG_entry_point
Fortran provides additional entry points for subroutines and functions.
These entry points may use only a subset (or a different set) of the
parameters of the original subroutine.  The entry points may be described
via the DWARF tag DW_TAG_entry_point.

This commit adds support for parsing the DW_TAG_entry_point DWARF tag.
Currently, between ifx/ifort/gfortran, only ifort is actually emitting
this tag.  Both, ifx and gfortran use the DW_TAG_subprogram tag as
workaround/alternative.  Thus, this patch really only adds more ifort
support.  Even so, some of the attached tests still fail for ifort, due
to some wrong line info generated for the entry points in ifort.

After this patch it is possible to set a breakpoint in gdb with the
ifort compiled example at the entry points 'foo' and 'foobar', which was not
possible before.

As gcc and ifx do not emit the tag I also added a test to gdb.dwarf2
which uses some underlying c compiled code and adds some Fortran style DWARF
to it emitting the DW_TAG_entry_point.  Before this patch it was not
possible to actually define breakpoint at the entry point tags.

For gfortran there actually exists a bug on bugzilla, asking for the use
of DW_TAG_entry_point over DW_TAG_subprogram:

This patch was originally posted here

https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/gdb-patches/2017-07/msg00317.html

but its review/pinging got lost after a while.  I reworked it to fit the
current GDB.
