[RFA 1/2] Revert "amd64-windows: memory args passed by pointer during function calls."

[Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>]

A more correct implementation of parameters passed by pointer will
follow.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	Revert the following change:
	* i386-tdep.h (gdbarch_tdep): Add field memory_args_by_pointer.
	* amd64-tdep.c (amd64_push_arguments): Add handling of architectures
	where tdep->memory_args_by_pointer is non-zero.
	* amd64-windows-tdep.c (amd64_windows_init_abi): Set
	tdep->memory_args_by_pointer to 1.

Tested on both amd64-windows and amd64-linux.
OK to commit?

Thanks,

Joel
