[PATCH 1/2] Fix reverse stepping multiple contiguous PC ranges over the line table.

[Carl Love]

Simon, GDB maintainers:

Per the comments on version 4 for the gdb.reverse/func-map-to-same-
line.exp, I have added support to proc gdb_compile to enable or disable
generating line information as part of the debug information.  The two
new options are column-info and no-column-info.  

This patch implements the new options for gdb_compile.

These options have been tested with patch 2 of 2 on PowerPC with the
GCC and clang compilers.

Please let me know if the patch is acceptable for mainline.   Thanks.

                       Carl 

-------------------------------------------------------------

Add gdb_compile options column-info and no-column-info

This patch adds two new options to gdb_compile to specify if the compile
should or should not generate the line table information.  The
options are supported on clang and gcc version 7 and newer.

Patch has been tested on PowerPC with both gcc and clang.
