gdb: Remove compile-related attributes from struct language
The following patch will add a configure option to disable the compile subsystem at compilation time. To do that, nearly all code that interfaces with compile should be confined to the compile sub-folder. This commit is the first step, removing the compile-related method from the language struct and adding 2 new functions to compile.c that do the same job in a slightly different way. Adding things to the language struct is a more extendable way to add support for languages, but considering compile is quite bit-rotted and questionably supported, I don't think it will be extended any time soon, and using ifdefs to handle disabling compile with configure felt like a messier solution. There should be no visible changes after this commit. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
