    gdb: fix regression in evaluate_funcall for non C++ like cases
    
    This regression, as it is exposed by the test added in this commit,
    first became noticable with this commit:
    
      commit d182f2797922a305fbd1ef6a483cc39a56b43e02
      Date:   Mon Mar 8 07:27:57 2021 -0700
    
          Convert c-exp.y to use operations
    
    But, this commit only added converted the C expression parser to make
    use of code that was added in this commit:
    
      commit a00b7254fb614af557de7ae7cc0eb39a0ce0e408
      Date:   Mon Mar 8 07:27:57 2021 -0700
    
          Implement function call operations
    
    And it was this second commit that actually introduced the bugs (there
    are two).
    
    In structop_base_operation::evaluate_funcall we build up an argument
    list in the vector vals.  Later in this function the argument list
    might be passed to value_struct_elt.
    
    Prior to commit a00b7254fb614 the vals vector (or argvec as it used to
    be called) stored the value for the function callee in the argvec at
    index 0.  This 'callee' value is what ends up being passed to
    evaluate_subexp_do_call, and represents the function to be called, the
    value contents are the address of the function, and the value type is
    the function signature.  The remaining items held in the argvec were
    the values to pass to the function.  For a non-static member function
    the `this' pointer would be at index 1 in the array.
    
    After commit a00b7254fb614 this callee value is now held in a separate
    variable, not the vals array.  So, for non-static member functions,
    the `this' pointer is now at index 0, with any other arguments after
    that.
    
    What this means is that previous, when we called value_struct_elt we
    would pass the address of argvec[1] as this was the first argument.
    But now we should be passing the address of vals[0].  Unfortunately,
    we are still passing vals[1], effectively skipping the first
    argument.
    
    The second issue is that, prior to commit a00b7254fb614, the argvec
    array was NULL terminated.  This is required as value_struct_elt
    calls search_struct_method, which calls typecmp, and typecmp requires
    that the array have a NULL at the end.
    
    After commit a00b7254fb614 this NULL has been lost, and we are
    therefore violating the API requirements of typecmp.
    
    This commit fixes both of these regressions.  I also extended the
    header comments on search_struct_method and value_struct_elt to make
    it clearer that the array required a NULL marker at the end.
    
    You will notice in the test attached to this commit that I test
    calling a non-static member function, but not calling a static member
    function.  The reason for this is that calling static member functions
    is currently broken due to a different bug.  That will be fixed in a
    later patch in this series, at which time I'll add a test for calling
    a static member function.
