[patch] PR symtab/13277: Resolving opaque structures in ICC generated binaries.

ICC does not set DW_AT_declaration on opaque structure declarations, so
gdb will show such structures as "<no data fields>" unless executing code
within the compilation unit which contains the complete declaration.

However, ICC does set DW_AT_byte_size to zero on opaque declarations.

This patch adds a check for DW_AT_byte_size == 0 with producer == ICC to
allow gdb to resolve opaque structures in binaries which were built with
ICC.

See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13277 for more
details, including an example.

     * symtab.c (producer_is_icc): New function.

     * dwarf2read.c (read_structure_type): Set TYPE_STUB on structures
     with a byte size of zero, if the binary was produced by ICC.
