[patch]: Trace pointer targets

[Nathan Sidwell]

Hi,
this patch modifies the tracepoint expression mechanism so that the
target of a pointer expression is also gathered.  It's uesful to gather
this information automatically, and the gdb.trace/collection.exp test
has a case where the contents of an array parameter are expected to
be gathered automatically.

The patch gathers gathers the first 2^N objects at the pointer target,
where N is the smallest value such that at least 16 bytes are gathered.

built & tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu, and an unreleased architecture, ok?
