Looking for a type defined locally in a function doesn't work
any more since the introduction of TYPE_DOMAIN:
```
(gdb) python print (gdb.lookup_type ('main()::Local'))
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: No type named main()::Local.
Error occurred in Python: No type named main()::Local.
```
cp_search_static_and_baseclasses was simply missing a check for
SEARCH_TYPE_DOMAIN, now it works again:
```
(gdb) python print (gdb.lookup_type ('main()::Local'))
Local
```

When running test-case gdb.base/watchpoint-running on ppc64le-linux (and
similar on arm-linux), we get:
...
(gdb) watch global_var^M
warning: Error when detecting the debug register interface. \
Debug registers will be unavailable.^M
Watchpoint 2: global_var^M
(gdb) FAIL: $exp: all-stop: hardware: watch global_var
FAIL: $exp: all-stop: hardware: watchpoint hit (timeout)
...
The problem is that ppc_linux_dreg_interface::detect fails to detect the
hardware watchpoint interface, because the calls to ptrace return with errno
set to ESRCH.
This is a feature of ptrace: if a call is done while the tracee is not
ptrace-stopped, it returns ESRCH.
Indeed, in the test-case "watch global_var" is executed while the inferior is
running, and that triggers the first call to ppc_linux_dreg_interface::detect.
And because the detection failure is cached, subsequent attempts at setting
hardware watchpoints will also fail, even if the tracee is ptrace-stopped.
The way to fix this is to make sure that ppc_linux_dreg_interface::detect is
called when we know that the thread is ptrace-stopped, which in the current
setup is best addressed by using target-specific post_attach and
post_startup_inferior overrides. However, as we can see in
aarch64_linux_nat_target, that causes code duplication.
Fix this by:
- defining a new target hook low_init_process, called from
linux_init_ptrace_procfs, which is called from both
linux_nat_target::post_attach and linux_nat_target::post_startup_inferior,
- adding implementations for ppc_linux_nat_target and arm_linux_nat_target
that detect the hardware watchpoint interface,
- replacing the aarch64_linux_nat_target implementations of post_attach and
post_startup_inferior with a low_init_process implementation.
Tested on ppc64le-linux, arm-linux, aarch64-linux and x86_64-linux.

Under certain circumstances, a floating point exception in
target_read_string() can happen when the type has been obtained
by a call to stpy_lazy_string_elt_type(). In the latter function,
a call to check_typedef() has been forgotten. This makes
type->length = 0 in this case.

On macOS sonoma, printing a string would only print the first
character. For instance, if there was a 'const char *s = "foobar"',
then the 'print s' command would print '$1 = "f"' rather than the
expected '$1 = "foobar"'.
It seems that this is due to Apple silently replacing the version
of libiconv they ship with the OS to one which silently fails to
handle the 'outbytesleft' parameter correctly when using 'wchar_t'
as a target encoding.
This specifically causes issues when using iterating through a
string as wchar_iterator does.
This bug is visible even if you build for an old version of macOS,
but then run on Sonoma. Therefore this fix in the code applies
generally to macOS, and not specific to building on Sonoma. Building
for an older version and expecting forwards compatibility is a
common situation on macOS.

Test behaviour of watchpoints triggered by MOPS instructions. This test
is similar to gdb.base/memops-watchpoint.exp, but specifically for MOPS
instructions rather than whatever instructions are used in the libc's
implementation of memset/memcpy/memmove.
There's a separate watched variable for each set of instructions so that
the testcase can test whether GDB correctly identified the watchpoint
that triggered in each case.

There are two kinds of MOPS instructions: set instructions and copy
instructions. Within each group there are variants with minor
differences in how they read or write to memory — e.g., non-temporal
read and/or write, unprivileged read and/or write and permutations of
those — but they work in the same way in terms of the registers and
regions of memory that they modify.
The new gdb.reverse/aarch64-mops.exp testcase verifies that MOPS
instructions are recorded and correctly reversed. Not all variants of the
copy and set instructions are tested, since there are many and the record
and replay target processes them in the same way.

The AArch64 MOPS (Memory Operation) instructions provide a standardised
instruction sequence to perform a memset, memcpy or memmove. A sequence is
always composed of three instructions: a prologue instruction, a main
instruction and an epilogue instruction. As an illustration, here are the
implementations of these memory operations in glibc 2.39:

The Arm Architecture Reference Manual says that "the prologue, main, and
epilogue instructions are expected to be run in succession and to appear
consecutively in memory". Therefore this patch disables displaced stepping
on them.
The testcase verifies that MOPS sequences are correctly single-stepped.

gdb/doc: use silent-rules.mk in the Makefile
I rewrote the rules for building the man pages. While doing this I
accidentally switched from using MAN2POD5 to MAN2POD1 for generating
the file gdbinit.5.
Restore use of MAN2POD5 where appropriate.
While preparing the new release it was discovered that commit:
commit 824083f34c222aa7419e2ea58e82d6f230d5f531
Date: Fri Apr 12 17:47:20 2024 +0100
gdb/doc: use silent-rules.mk in the Makefile
was causing problems. Given a release tar file, an attempt to build
and install GDB would give an error like this:
[...]
TEXI2POD gdb.pod
cannot find GDBvn.texi at ../../../gdb-15.0.50.20240508/gdb/doc/../../etc/texi2pod.pl line 251, <GEN0> line 16.
make[5]: *** [Makefile:663: gdb.pod] Error 2
The problem here is how the man pages are built, and how they are
distributed within a release.
Within the development (git) tree, the man page files are not part of
the source tree, these files are built as needed. Within a release
tar file though, the man pages are included. The idea being that a
user can build and install GDB, including getting the man pages,
without having to install the tools needed to generate the man pages.
The man pages are generated in a two step process. First the .texi
file is processed with texi2pod to create a .pod file, then this .pod
file is processed to create the .1 or .5 man file.
Prior to the above commit these two steps were combined into a single
recipe, this meant that when a user performed a build/install from a
release tree all of the dependencies, as well as the final result,
were all present in the source tree, and so nothing needed to be
rebuilt.
However, the above commit split the two steps apart. Now we had a
separate rule for building the .pod files, and the .1/.5 man page
files depended on the relevant .pod file.
As the .pod files are not shipped in a GDB release, this meant that
one of the dependencies of the man page files was now missing. As a
result if a user tried to install from a release tree a rebuild of the
.pod files would be attempted, and if that succeeded then building the
man pages would follow that.
Unfortunately, building the .pod files would fail as the GDBvn.texi
file, though present in the source tree, was not present in the build
tree, which is where it is needed for the .pod file generation to
work.
To fix this, I propose merging the .pod creation and the .1/.5 man
page creation back into a single recipe. Having these two steps split
is probably the "cleaner" solution, but makes it harder for us to
achieve our goal of shipping the prebuilt man page files. I've added
a comment explaining what's going on (such a comment would have
prevented this mistake having been made in the first place).
One possibly weird thing here is that I have left both an
ECHO_TEXI2POD and a ECHO_TEXI2MAN in the rule $(MAN1S) and $(MAN5S)
recipes. This is 100% not going to break anything, these just print
two different progress messages while executing the recipes, but I'm
not sure if this is considered poor style or not. Maybe we're only
supposed to have a single ECHO_* per recipe?
Anyway, even if this is poor style, I figure it really is just a style
thing. We can tweak this later as needed. Otherwise, this commit
should fix the current issue blocking the next GDB release.
