[FYI] Support bare-identifier field initializers in Rust

In Rust one can initialize a struct member from an identically-named
local variable by simply mentioning the member name in the
initializer, like:

    let x = 0;
    let y = Struct { x };

This initializes "Struct::x" from "x".

This patch adds this form of initializer to the Rust expression parser
and adds a test.

Tested on x86-64 Fedora 26 using rustc 1.23.

	* rust-exp.y (struct_expr_tail, struct_expr_list): Add plain
	"IDENT" production.

2018-03-19  Tom Tromey  <tom@tromey.com>

	* gdb.rust/simple.rs (main): Add local variables field1, field2,
	y0.
	* gdb.rust/simple.exp: Test bare identifier form of struct
	initializer.
