libctf, include: support unnamed structure members better
libctf has no intrinsic support for the GCC unnamed structure member extension. This principally means that you can't look up named members inside unnamed struct or union members via ctf_member_info: you have to tiresomely find out the type ID of the unnamed members via iteration, then look in each of these. This is ridiculous. Fix it by extending ctf_member_info so that it recurses into unnamed members for you: this is still unambiguous because GCC won't let you create ambiguously-named members even in the presence of this extension. For consistency, and because the release hasn't happened and we can still do this, break the ctf_member_next API and add flags: we specify one flag, CTF_MN_RECURSE, which if set causes ctf_member_next to automatically recurse into unnamed members for you, returning not only the members themselves but all their contained members, so that you can use ctf_member_next to identify every member that it would be valid to...
