    Do not make "prop" field of struct dynamic_prop_list a pointer.
    
    struct dynamic_prop_list is declared as follow:
    
        struct dynamic_prop_list
        {
          [...]
          /* The dynamic property itself.  */
          struct dynamic_prop *prop;
          [...]
        };
    
    In this case, the pointer indirection is unnecessary and costing us,
    for each dynamic property, the memory needed to store one pointer.
    This patch removes this pointer indirection, savin us a tiny bit of
    memory, as well as reduces a bit the complexity by removing the need
    to allocate memory for the property, as the allocation is now part
    of the struct itself.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
            * gdbtypes.h (struct dynamic_prop_list) <prop>: Remove
            pointer indirection.
            * gdbtypes.c (get_dyn_prop): Adjust, following change above.
            (add_dyn_prop, copy_dynamic_prop_list): Likewise.
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux.
