[PATCH 38/43] Remove DWARF expression composition check

[Zoran Zaric via Gdb-patches <gdb-patches@sourceware.org>]

The dwarf_expr_require_composition function reports an error if the
last operation is not a leaf node of the DWARF expression. This was
previously used to prevent location description operations to be used
freely in the DWARF expression.

With the new approach, all operations are treated the same and
everything is composable, so there is no need for the previous
restrictions in the expression evaluator.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* dwarf2/expr.c (dwarf_expr_context::execute_stack_op): Remove
	the use of dwarf_expr_require_composition.
