C++ compile support

This patch adds *basic* support for C++ to the compile feature.  It does
most simple type conversions, including everything that C compile does and
your basic "with-classes" type of C++.

I've written a new compile-support.exp support file which adds a new test
facility for automating and simplifying "compile print" vs "compile code"
testing.  See testsuite/lib/compile-support.exp and CompileExpression
for more on that.  The tests use this facility extensively.

This initial support has several glaring omissions:
- No template support at all
  I have follow-on patches for this, but they add much complexity
  to this "basic" support.  Consequently, they will be submitted separately.
- Cannot print functions
  The code template needs tweaking, and I simply haven't gotten to it yet.
- So-called "special function" support is not included
  Using constructors, destructors, operators, etc will not work. I have
  follow-on patches for that, but they require some work because of the
  recent churn in symbol searching.
- There are several test suite references to "compile/1234" bugs.
  I will file bugs and update the test suite's bug references before pushing
  these patches.

The test suite started as a copy of the original C-language support, but
I have written tests to exercise the basic functionality of the plug-in.

I've added a new option for outputting debug messages for C++ type-conversion
("debug compile-cplus-types").
