infcall: handle pass-by-reference arguments appropriately

If an aggregate argument is implicitly pass-by-reference, allocate a
temporary object on the stack, initialize it via the copy constructor
(if exists) or trivially by memcpy'ing.  Pass the reference of the
temporary to the callee function.  After the callee returns, invoke
the destructor of the temporary.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-MM-DD  Tankut Baris Aktemur  <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>

	* infcall.c (call_function_by_hand_dummy): Update the argument-
	passing section for call-by-value parameters.
	(struct destructor_info): New struct.
	(call_destructors): New auxiliary function.
