[commit/testsuite] Handle variables kept in registers

- Subject: [commit/testsuite] Handle variables kept in registers
If you let it, even at -O0, RealView will try to keep variables in
registers instead of on the stack. I don't know the precise
conditions, but I'd guess they're what a smarter GCC would want to do
also: if the register is live the whole source range of the variable,
then we might as well.
This patch updates two test cases to avoid this problem. For
formatted-ref.exp I did not see any way to force the variable to live
in memory, so I let the test accept the variable in a register. For
display.exp, I took the address of several variables otherwise in
registers. This forces them onto the stack, and displaying their
address now succeeds.
Tested on arm-none-eabi and x86_64-linux. Checked in.

* gdb.cp/formatted-ref.exp (test_p_x_ref_addr): Allow the reference
to be in memory.
* gdb.base/display.c (force_mem): New.
(do_loops): Use it. Add breakpoint comments.
(do_vars): Add a breakpoint comment.
* gdb.base/display.exp: Use gdb_get_line_number. Remove hardcoded
line numbers.
