[RFA] Handle runtime loader dyn sym resolution in reverse


This is for both the main trunk and the record/replay branch
(so I'd appreciate review by both Hui and a global maintainer).

It fixes a bug where you try to "reverse-next" over a
first-time dynamic function call (eg. printf).  Infrun
would get lost when it stepped into the jump table
backwards.

	* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Handle dynamic symbol
	resolution in reverse.
