[PATCH 3/3] set BFD_DECOMPRESS


This sets BFD_DECOMPRESS, finally fixing PR 14704.  This causes BFD to
automatically decompress compressed sections.

In 7.5 and earlier (back to 2008, when compressed section support was
added), gdb would read compressed sections that had relocations -- but
it would not actually apply the relocations.

This patch also fixes this bug, because now the relocation code path
in dwarf2_read_section will also handle decompression, via BFD.

Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 16.

I've included a new test case that "fails" before the patch series, and
passes afterward.

I say "fails" because gdb_file_cmd calls perror, which sets the next
test to UNRESOLVED.  This seems bogus to me, but I didn't want to change
it.  I suppose I could; or at least add a "don't call perror" argument
to it -- thoughts?


	PR gdb/14704:
	* gdb_bfd.c (gdb_bfd_ref): Set BFD_DECOMPRESS.

	* gdb.base/comprdebug.exp: New file.
