[PATCH v9 02/10] gdb/symtab: add lookup for trampoline functions

From: Nils-Christian Kempke <nils-christian.kempke@intel.com>

In order to query information about the DW_AT_trampoline tag for
subroutines and inlined subroutines, two function were added to symtab.

First, a routine for querying whether the given pc belongs to a block
that is associated with a function (maybe inlined) marked
DW_AT_trampoline.

Second, a routine for querying a trampoline function's target.
Subroutines and inlined subroutines marked with DW_AT_trampoline usually
contain information about the target subroutine they are 'wrapping'/
passing control to.
