[rfa/ppc] prologue parser tweaks


Hello,

Attached are two tweaks to the PPC skip_prologue method so that it works better with glibc:

- handle glibc syscall
Without this an unwinder won't be able to find its way out of a system call - it needs to figure out the location of a local label, see comment for details.


- handle PIC code where the LR appears to be saved twice
It appears that skip_prologue code tried to handle this but missed an edge case. Without this the wrong LR gets used when trying to unwind out of GLIBC.


Ok for mainline?

	* rs6000-tdep.c: Add field "func_start".
	(skip_prologue): New variable num_skip_syscall_insn, use to skip
	over first half of a GNU/Linux syscall and update "func_start".
	Record only the first LR save, use to skip over PIC code.
