[RFA/commit] DWARF: Add support for DW_TAG_constant DIEs

Hello,

The GNAT compiler is starting to email DW_TAG_constant dies, so
I needed to add support for this type of tags. It turned out to
be a relatively easy task.

I could have tweaked the psymbol processing to have the block of
code that handles variables also handle constants. But I decided
against it, because I felt that it made the code more complicated
that it needed to, making the handling for variables a little more
complicated (in short, I had to add an code != DW_TAG_constant to
avoid the DIE from being skipped).

Does this look reasonable?

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * dwarf2read.c (scan_partial_symbols): Add handling of
        DW_TAG_constant DIEs.
        (add_partial_symbol, load_partial_dies, new_symbol): Likewise.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-const.S, gdb.dwarf2/dw2-const.exp: New files.

Tested on x86_64-linux. No regression.

Thanks,
-- 
Joel
