This part looks generally fine. My only complaint is the size
and placement of the new field. struct type is a hefty portion
of GDB's memory usage.
For a first optimization, it can go in main_type instead. Then
there won't be an extra copy for every const or volatile type
variant. For a second optimization, it's only for TYPE_CODE_FUNC - so
I think it will fit in union type_specific.
Assuming that's right, changed version is OK.
