[RFA/commit] Implement return values on amd64-windows.


From: brobecke <brobecke@f8352e7e-cb20-0410-8ce7-b5d9e71c585c>

I forgot to post this patch in the previous amd64-windows funcall series
(although it's not just about function calls, more about the return value).
For instance, we have an test where we do a "finish" from a function
returning a small array:

    (gdb) fin
    Run till exit from #0  pck.create_small () at pck.adb:5
    0x000000000040198d in p () at p.adb:8
    8          Small := Create_Small;
    Cannot access memory at address 0x100000001

where Create_Small returns a Data_Small defined as follow:

    type Data_Small is array (1 .. 2) of Integer;

The way returned values are implemented on Windows64 is quite different
from what is described in the SysV ABI, so I had to implement a windows-
specific version of gdbarch_return_value.  But in the end, it wasn't so
bad, since the convention is actually very simple.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * amd64-windows-tdep.c: #include gdbcore.h and regcache.h.
        (amd64_windows_return_value): New function.
        (amd64_windows_init_abi): Call set_gdbarch_return_value with
        amd64_windows_return_value.

Tested on x86_64-windows with AdaCore's testsuite.  I would like to commit
in a couple of days if there are no objections.
