[RFA] Improve rs6000-tdep.c prologue skipping

[Fred Fish <fnf@specifixinc.com>]

Recently there was some discussion about the handling of prologues, with
some good long term suggestions.  But I wanted to see if any significant
improvements could be made in the powerpc-eabi target I'm working on, so
I've been digging around in the prologue handling code in rs6000-tdep.c.

The attached patch makes a dramatic difference in the number of testsuite
failures for the powerpc-eabi tests:

  < # of expected passes        8558
  < # of unexpected failures    288
  < # of known failures         25
  ---
  > # of expected passes        8719
  > # of unexpected failures    125
  > # of known failures         27

(Note I suppressed the running of the gdbtk tests completely so your
numbers may vary)

 * rs6000-tdep.c (skip_prologue): Use line table info to skip over
 compiler generated function calls made as part of a prologue.
