Author: Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>

    handle variables stored in muliple consecutive registers
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
            * value.c (read_frame_register_value): New function.
            * findvar.c (value_from_register): Use read_frame_register_value
            instead of get_frame_register_value + value_contents_copy
            to get value contents.
