PR symtab/16264 - support DW_AT_main_subprogram
This patch adds support for DW_AT_main_subprogram. This is PR symtab/16264. DW_AT_main_subprogram is used to mark a program's entry point. GCC can emit this, and I hope to change the Rust compiler to emit it as well. GDB already supports an older, pre-DWARF 4 convention adopted by FORTRAN compilers, namely to emit DW_AT_calling_convention for the "main" function. However, I think this support in GDB had a small bug, in that it seems to rely on the DW_AT_name being read before DW_AT_calling_convention. This patch fixes this as well. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 24 and the buildbot. New test case included. 2016-12-02 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR symtab/16264: * dwarf2read.c (struct partial_die_info) <main_subprogram>: New member.
