For PPC64/ELFv1: Introduce mst_data_gnu_ifunc

Running the new tests added later in the series on PPC64 (ELFv1)
revealed that the current ifunc support needs a bit of a design rework
to work properly on PPC64/ELFv1, as most of the new tests fail.  The
ifunc support only kind of works today if the ifunc symbol and the
resolver have the same name, as is currently tested by the
gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp testcase, which is unlike how ifuncs are
written nowadays.

The crux of the problem is that ifunc symbols are really function
descriptors, not text symbols:

   44: 0000000000020060    104 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT       18 gnu_ifunc_resolver
   54: 0000000000020060    104 GNU_IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT     18 gnu_ifunc

But, currently GDB only knows about ifunc symbols that are text
symbols.  GDB's support happens to work in practice for PPC64 when the
ifunc and resolver are one and only, like in the current
gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp testcase:

   15: 0000000000020060    104 GNU_IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT       18 gnu_ifunc

because in that case, the synthetic ".gnu_ifunc" entry point text
symbol that bfd creates from the actual GNU ifunc "gnu_ifunc" function
(descriptor) symbol ends up with the the "is a gnu ifunc" flag set /
copied over:

  (gdb) maint print msymbols
  ...
  [ 8] i 0x9c4 .gnu_ifunc section .text                <<< mst_text_gnu_ifunc
  ...
  [29] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc section .opd  crtstuff.c    <<< mst_data

But, if the resolver gets a distinct symbol/name from the ifunc
symbol, then we end up with this:

  (gdb) maint print msymbols
  [ 8] T 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc_resolver section .text               <<< mst_text
  ...
  [29] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc section .opd  crtstuff.c            <<< mst_data
  [30] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc_resolver section .opd  crtstuff.c   <<< mst_data

I have a follow up bfd patch that turns that into:

   (gdb) maint print msymbols
+  [ 8] i 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc section .text               <<< mst_text_gnu_ifunc
   [ 8] T 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc_resolver section .text      <<< mst_text
   ...
   [29] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc section .opd  crtstuff.c
   [30] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc_resolver section .opd  crtstuff.c

but that won't help everything.  We still need this patch.

Specifically, when we do a symbol lookup by name, like e.g., to call a
function (see c-exp.y hunk), e.g., "p gnu_ifunc()", then we need to
know that the found "gnu_ifunc" minimal symbol is an ifunc in order to
do some special processing.  But, on PPC, that lookup by name finds
the function descriptor symbol, which presently is just a mst_data
symbol, while at present, we look for mst_text_gnu_ifunc symbols to
decide whether to do special GNU ifunc processing.  In most of those
places, we could try to resolve the function descriptor with
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr, and then lookup the minimal symbol
at the resolved PC, see if that finds a minimal symbol of type
mst_text_gnu_ifunc.  If so, then we could assume that the original
mst_dadta / function descriptor "gnu_ifunc" symbol was an ifunc.  I
tried it, and it mostly works, even if it's not the most efficient.

However, there's one case that can't work with such a design -- it's
that of the user calling the ifunc resolver directly to debug it, like
"p gnu_ifunc_resolver(0)", expecting that to return the function
pointer of the final function (which is exercised by the new tests
added later).  In this case, with the not-fully-working solution, we'd
resolve the function descriptor, find that there's an
mst_text_gnu_ifunc symbol for the resolved address, and proceed
calling the function as if we tried to call "gnu_ifunc", the
user-visible GNU ifunc symbol, instead of the resolver.  I.e., it'd be
impossible to call the resolver directly as a normal function.

Introducing mst_data_gnu_ifunc eliminates the need for several
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr calls, and, fixes the "call
resolver directly" use case mentioned above too.  It's the cleanest
approach I could think of.

In sum, we make GNU ifunc function descriptor symbols get a new
"mst_data_gnu_ifunc" minimal symbol type instead of the bare mst_data
type.  So when symbol lookup by name finds such a minimal symbol, we
know we found an ifunc symbol, without resolving the entry/text
symbol.  If the user calls the the resolver symbol instead, like "p
gnu_ifunc_resolver(0)", then we'll find the regular mst_data symbol
for "gnu_ifunc_resolver", and we'll call the resolver function as just
another regular function.

With this, most of the GNU ifunc tests added by a later patch pass on
PPC64 too.  The following bfd patch fixes the remaining issues.
