This commit fixes PR breakpoints/16889, which is about a bug that
triggers when GDB tries to parse probes whose arguments do not contain
the initial (and optional) "N@" part. For reference sake, the de
facto format is described here:
<https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/UserSpaceProbeImplementation>
Anyway, this PR actually uncovered two bugs (related) that were
happening while parsing the arguments. The first one was that the
parser *was* catching *some* arguments that were missing the "N@"
part, but it wasn't correctly setting the argument's type. This was
causing a NULL pointer being dereferenced, ouch...
The second bug uncovered was that the parser was not catching all of
the cases for a probe which did not provide the "N@" part. The fix
for that was to simplify the check that the code was making to
identify non-prefixed probes. The code is simpler and easier to read
now.
I am also providing a testcase for this bug, only for x86_64
architectures.

* stap-probe.c (stap_parse_probe_arguments): Simplify
check for non-prefixed probes (i.e., probes whose
arguments do not start with "N@"). Always set the
argument type to a sane value.
