Resurrect gdb-add-index as a contrib script

This includes changes made in Fedora's gdb packaging[1], Doug's
robustness patch[2] from before gdb-add-index was dropped, some
corrections, and some more changes Doug accumulated in the
meantime[3].

It would be a good idea to mention the existance of this script
in (info "(gdb) Index Files"), but I'm boycotting invariant
sections/cover texts because non-free docs are a PITA, so somebody
else would need to do that.
