[PATCH v4 07/15] Fix gdb.base/call-ar-st to work with Clang

When running gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp against Clang, we see one FAIL,
like so:

 print_all_arrays (array_i=<main.integer_array>, array_c=<main.char_array> "ZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZa
 ZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZa", array_f=<main.float_array>, array_d=<main.double_array>) at ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/call-ar-st.c:274
 274       print_int_array(array_i);     /* -step1- */
 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp: step inside print_all_arrays

With GCC we instead see:

 print_all_arrays (array_i=<integer_array>, array_c=<char_array> "ZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZa", array_f=<float_array>, array_d=<double_array>) at /home/pedro/gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/call-ar-st.c:274
 274       print_int_array(array_i);     /* -step1- */
 (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp: step inside print_all_arrays

The difference is that with Clang we get:

 array_i=<main.integer_array>, ...

instead of

 array_i = <integer_array>, ...

These symbols are local static variables, and "main" is the name of
the function they are defined in.  GCC instead appends a sequence
number to the linkage name:

 $ nm -A call-ar-st.gcc | grep integer_
 call-ar-st/call-ar-st:00000000000061a0 b integer_array.3968

 $ nm -A call-ar-st.clang | grep integer_
 call-ar-st:00000000004061a0 b main.integer_array

This commit changes the testcase to accept both outputs, as they are
functionally identical.
