Handle PPC64 function descriptor in Ada decoding
On PPC64, the entry point of the function "FN" is ".FN" when a function descriptor is used. One of the consequences of this is that GDB then presents the name of the function to the user (eg: in backtraces) with the leading dot, which is a low-level internal detail that the user should not be seeing. The Ada decoding should strip it. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_decode): strip dot prefix in symbol name. No testcase added, as a number of existing testcases should already demonstrate that problem.
