[RFA] Add shared object relocation tests

I've written a test for load-time relocation of shared objects, to verify
that the symbols in gdb match the real (loaded) locations in memory.
This was originally designed to test some patches to coffread.c, but
is probably appropriate wherever shared objects are available. This
is related to PR 1132 in Gnats. Tested under i686-pc-cygwin and
i686-pc-linux.

There may be problems on systems where shared objects are not
supported - this will probably result in compilation or linkage
failures during the test (and I think the test is then skipped?).

This would add the following files to src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base:

shreloc.exp
shreloc.c
shreloc1.c
shreloc2.c

Should I go ahead and add the new files?

Regards,
Raoul Gough

# them gets relocated at load-time. Check that gdb gets the right
