[2/3] RFC: merge symbol "ops" and "aclass" fields

[Jan Kratochvil]

Hi Tom,

such a minor sanity check, not sure if worth it:

These three fields could be union.

And these accessors could gdb_assert impl->ACLASS.  Currently if ACLASS does
not match it returns NULL, which would (correctly) crash on dereferencing
a method but such coding bug would not be noticed during accesses like:
  if (SYMBOL_COMPUTED_OPS (sym) == &dwarf2_loclist_funcs)


Thanks,
