[PATCH] Prune some deadwood in dwarf2read.c:decode_locdesc

[Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@mvista.com>]

This patch is obvious; barring comments I'll commit it in a day or two.
Neither of these flags is checked any more now that LOC_COMPUTED is used.

The current status quo, by the way, is that there is one caller of
decode_locdesc left which checks these global flags.  I believe that that
call (for DW_AT_frame_base) is entirely dead and can be removed, after which
it will be possible to simplify decode_locdesc even further.  But it's
slightly less trivially dead, so I'll do that in a separate patch when I'm
more awake.

After that, decode_locdesc will only ever be used in places where we expect
a constant result - a global variable, a structure offset, et cetera. 
Everything else has been converted to LOC_COMPUTED and LOC_COMPUTED_ARG.

	* dwarf2read.c (optimized_out, islocal): Remove.
	(decode_locdesc): Update comments.  Don't set optimized_out
	or islocal.
