[PATCH] gdb: remove context_stack::static_link

[PATCH] gdb: remove context_stack::static_link

[simon.marchi]

From: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>

I don't think it's needed to record this information in the
context_stack structure.  The only user is the DWARF reader, where it
can very well be a local variable.
