[testsuite patch] Fortran: allocate()d memory is uninitialized

[Jan Kratochvil <jan dot kratochvil at redhat dot com>]

Hi,

  allocate (vla1 (5))         ! vla1-not-allocated
  l = allocated(vla1)         ! vla1-allocated     <------------------

Expecting: ^(510-data-evaluate-expression vla1[^M
]+)?(510\^done,value="\(0, 0, 0, 0, 0\)"[^M
]+[(]gdb[)] ^M
[ ]*)
510-data-evaluate-expression vla1^M
510^done,value="(1.82987403e-09, 7.8472714e-44, 1.82987403e-09, 7.8472714e-44, 2.67929926e+20)"^M
(gdb) ^M
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-vla-fortran.exp: evaluate allocated vla

gcc-4.9.2-6.fc21.x86_64

I think some older gfortran did initialize allocated memory but that is an
unspecified behavior.  I haven't found any initialization mentioned
in Fortran 90 standard (draft) and it is also clearly stated here:
	https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-fortran-compiler-for-linux-and-mac-os-x/topic/268786
	Initialization to 0 of allocated arrays (of integers) is an
	implementation issue. i.e. do not rely on it.

OK for check-in?
