I noticed hat evaluate_subexp_do_call takes an array of arguments and
a count -- but, unlike the usual convention, the count does not
include the first element.
This patch changes this function to match call_function_by_hand --
passing the callee separately, and using an array_view for the
arguments. This makes it simpler to understand.

The problem is that the PS1 setting has no effect, due to a bug on older
openSUSE/SLE version. The mechanism there is:
- /etc/profile sets ENV=/etc/bash.bashrc
- /bin/sh is started
- /bin/sh executes ENV, in other words /etc/bash.bashrc
- during the execution of /etc/bash.bashrc, PS1 is set unconditionally
Fix this by setting PS1 after spawning the subshell.

When running test-case gdb.base/info-shared.exp, I see in gdb.log:
...
Executing on host: \
gcc ... -fPIC -fpic -c -o info-shared-solib1.c.o info-shared-solib1.c
...
The -fPIC comes from the test-case:
...
if { [gdb_compile_shlib $srcfile_lib1 $binfile_lib1 \
[list additional_flags=-fPIC]] != "" } {
...
but the -fpic, which overrides the -fPIC comes from gdb_compile_shlib.
The proc gdb_compile_shlib adds the -fpic or similar dependent on platform
and compiler. However, in some cases it doesn't add anything, which is
probably why all those test-case pass -fPIC.
Fix this by removing -fPIC from all the calls to gdb_compile_shlib, and
ensuring that gdb_compile_shlib takes care of adding it, if required.

To handle thick pointers with -fgnat-encodings=minimal, gdb will
rewrite the underlying array type to remove the bounds. However, if
the same DWARF type is used both for a thick pointer and for an
ordinary array, this will have the side effect of removing the bounds
from the array. This breaks the printing of objects of this type.
This patch fixes the problem by copying the array type, its range, and
its bounds.

The static variables used by bfd_section_from_shdr to detect loops
in ELF sections have a problem: Comparing a BFD pointer doesn't
guarantee that the current bfd is the same as the one previously used
to allocate the sections_being_created array. For example, doing
size bad_elf_1 bad_elf_2
with two corrupted ELF files containing section loops will leave the
section_being_created array allocated for the first file and since
bfd_close is called for bad_elf_1 before bfd_elf_2 is opened, it is
possible that the BFD for the second file is allocated in the same
memory as the first file. If bad_elf_2 has more sections than
bad_elf_1 then we might write beyond the end of the array.
So this patch implements the FIXME Nick put in a comment about
attaching the array to the BFD.

During an incremental link, we should simply ignore the Gnu properties
sections. We were not handling them properly -- failing to process the
properties from the base file. While that could be fixed, the property
sections are meant for deployed binaries, and incremental linking is
for development, so keeping the properties sections just adds to the
likelihood of forcing a full link sooner.

We currently have two flushing commands 'flushregs' and 'maint
flush-symbol-cache'. I'm planning to add at least one more so I
thought it might be nice if we bundled these together into one place.
And so I created the 'maint flush ' command prefix. Currently there
are two commands:
(gdb) maint flush symbol-cache
(gdb) maint flush register-cache
Unfortunately, even though both of the existing flush commands are
maintenance commands, I don't know how keen we about deleting existing
commands for fear of breaking things in the wild. So, both of the
existing flush commands 'maint flush-symbol-cache' and 'flushregs' are
still around as deprecated aliases to the new commands.
