[PATCH 1/4] jit-reader.h: describe interface implemented by the JIT readers.

[Sanjoy Das <sanjoy@playingwithpointers.com>]

Generating ELF files in memory is usually too much work for JIT
compilers, since they usually don't have the related routines (as
opposed to a regular static compiler). One way to simplify this is to
have the JIT vendor themselves provide a shared object which is loaded
and used to parse the debug information. This patch exposes a
simplified interface for the debug info parser.

The interface is _simplified_ in the sense that it does not expose all
of GDB's functionality. The idea is that if the user wishes to use GDB
for full-on debugging of generated code, it will probably be simpler
to generate the full DWARF info.

The interface does not expose more than the minimum amount of GDB
internals; both to prevent versioning problems, and to keep writing
the debug-info reader simple. For the same reason, GDB specific
typedefs (like CORE_ADDR) have been kept out of `jit-reader.h'.

This patch adds a header file (`jit-reader.h') which can be included
and implemented in a shared object to build a working JIT
debug-reader.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* jit-reader.h: Add (new) JIT reader interface.
	* jit.c: Include jit-reader.h in source file
	* Makefile.in: Add jit-reader.h to HFILES_NO_SRCDIR.
