[gdb/symtab] Handle DW_OP_entry_value at function entry

On riscv64-linux, with test-case gdb.base/vla-optimized-out.exp I ran into:
...
(gdb) p sizeof (a)^M
$2 = <optimized out>^M
(gdb) FAIL: $exp: o1: printed size of optimized out vla
...

The variable a has type 0xbf:
...
 <1><bf>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_array_type)
    <c0>   DW_AT_type        : <0xe3>
    <c4>   DW_AT_sibling     : <0xdc>
 <2><c8>: Abbrev Number: 13 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
    <c9>   DW_AT_type        : <0xdc>
    <cd>   DW_AT_upper_bound : 13 byte block:
                               a3 1 5a 23 1 8 20 24 8 20 26 31 1c
			       (DW_OP_entry_value: (DW_OP_reg10 (a0));
			        DW_OP_plus_uconst: 1; DW_OP_const1u: 32;
				DW_OP_shl; DW_OP_const1u: 32; DW_OP_shra;
				DW_OP_lit1; DW_OP_minus)
...
which has an upper bound using a DW_OP_entry_value, and since the
corresponding call site contains no information to resolve the value of a0 at
function entry:
...
 <2><6b>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_call_site)
    <6c>   DW_AT_call_return_pc: 0x638
    <74>   DW_AT_call_origin : <0x85>
...
evaluting the dwarf expression fails, and we get <optimized out>.

My first thought was to try breaking at *f1 instead of f1 to see if that would
help, but actually the breakpoint resolved to the same address.

In other words, the inferior is stopped at function entry.

Fix this by resolving DW_OP_entry_value when stopped at function entry by
simply evaluating the expression.

This handles these two cases (x86_64, using reg rdi):
- DW_OP_entry_value: (DW_OP_regx: 5 (rdi))
- DW_OP_entry_value: (DW_OP_bregx: 5 (rdi) 0; DW_OP_deref_size: 4)

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Tested gdb.base/vla-optimized-out.exp on riscv64-linux.

Tested an earlier version of gdb.dwarf2/dw2-entry-value-2.exp on
riscv64-linux, but atm I'm running into trouble on that machine (cfarm92) so
I haven't tested the current version there.
