Add pretty printers for the NPTL lock types

This patch adds pretty printers for the following NPTL types:

- pthread_mutex_t
- pthread_mutexattr_t
- pthread_cond_t
- pthread_condattr_t
- pthread_rwlock_t
- pthread_rwlockattr_t

To load the pretty printers into your gdb session, do the following:

python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/glibc/build/nptl/pretty-printers')
end

source /path/to/glibc/source/pretty-printers/nptl-printers.py

You can check which printers are registered and enabled by issuing the
'info pretty-printer' gdb command. Printers should trigger automatically when
trying to print a variable of one of the types mentioned above.

The printers are architecture-independent, and were tested on an AMD64 running
Ubuntu 14.04 and an x86 VM running Fedora 24.

In order to work, the printers need to know the values of various flags that
are scattered throughout pthread.h and pthreadP.h as enums and #defines. Since
replicating these constants in the printers file itself would create a
maintenance burden, I wrote a script called gen-py-const.awk that Makerules uses
to extract the constants. This script is pretty much the same as gen-as-const.awk,
except it doesn't cast the constant values to 'long' and is thorougly documented.
The constants need only to be enumerated in a .pysym file, which is then referenced
by a Make variable called gen-py-const-headers.

As for the install directory, I discussed this with Mike Frysinger and Siddhesh
Poyarekar, and we agreed that it can be handled in a separate patch, and shouldn't
block merging of this one.

In addition, I've written a series of test cases for the pretty printers.
Each lock type (mutex, condvar and rwlock) has two test programs, one for itself
and other for its related 'attributes' object. Each test program in turn has a
PExpect-based Python script that drives gdb and compares its output to the
expected printer's. The tests run on the glibc host, which is assumed to have
both gdb and PExpect; if either is absent the tests will fail with code 77
(UNSUPPORTED). For cross-testing you should use cross-test-ssh.sh as test-wrapper.
I've tested the printers on both native builds and a cross build using a Beaglebone
Black running Debian, with the build system's filesystem shared with the board
through NFS.

Finally, I've written a README that explains all this and more.

+# This script is a smaller version of the clever gen-asm-const.awk hack used to
+# generate ASM constants from .sym files.  We'll use this to generate constants
+# for Python pretty printers.
+#
+# The input to this script are .pysym files that look like:
+# #C_Preprocessor_Directive...
+# NAME1
+# NAME2 expression...
+#
+# A line giving just a name implies an expression consisting of just that name.
+# Comments start with '--'.
+#
+# The output of this script is a 'dummy' function containing 'asm' declarations
+# for each non-preprocessor line in the .pysym file.  The expression values
+# will appear as input operands to the 'asm' declaration.  For example, if we
+# have:
+#
+# /* header.h */
+# #define MACRO 42
+#
+# struct S {
+#     char c1;
+#     char c2;
+#     char c3;
+# };
+#
+# enum E {
+#     ZERO,
+#     ONE
+# };
+#
+# /* symbols.pysym */
+# #include <stddef.h>
+# #include "header.h"
+# -- This is a comment
+# MACRO
+# C3_OFFSET offsetof(struct S, c3)
+# E_ONE ONE
+#
+# the output will be:
+#
+# #include <stddef.h>
+# #include "header.h"
+# void dummy(void)
+# {
+#   asm ("@name@MACRO@value@%0@" : : "i" (MACRO));
+#   asm ("@name@C3_OFFSET@value@%0@" : : "i" (offsetof(struct S, c3)));
+#   asm ("@name@E_ONE@value@%0@" : : "i" (ONE));
+# }
+#
+# We'll later feed this output to gcc -S.  Since '-S' tells gcc to compile but
+# not assemble, gcc will output something like:
+#
+# dummy:
+# 	...
+# 	@name@MACRO@value@$42@
+# 	@name@C3_OFFSET@value@$2@
+# 	@name@E_ONE@value@$1@
+#
+# Finally, we can process that output to extract the constant values.
+# Notice gcc may prepend a special character such as '$' to each value.
+
+# found_symbol indicates whether we found a non-comment, non-preprocessor line.
+BEGIN { found_symbol = 0 }
+
+# C preprocessor directives go straight through.
+/^#/ { print; next; }
+
+# Skip comments.
+/--/ { next; }
+
+# Trim leading whitespace.
+{ sub(/^[[:blank:]]*/, ""); }
+
+# If we found a non-comment, non-preprocessor line, print the 'dummy' function
+# header.
+NF > 0 && !found_symbol {
+    print "void dummy(void)\n{";
+    found_symbol = 1;
+}
+
+# If the line contains just a name, duplicate it so we can use that name
+# as the value of the expression.
+NF == 1 { sub(/^.*$/, "& &"); }
+
+# If a line contains a name and an expression...
+NF > 1 {
+    name = $1;
+
+    # Remove any characters before the second field.
+    sub(/^[^[:blank:]]+[[:blank:]]+/, "");
+
+    # '$0' ends up being everything that appeared after the first field
+    # separator.
+    printf "  asm (\"@name@%s@value@%0@\" : : \"i\" (%s));\n", name, $0;
+}
+
+# Close the 'dummy' function.
+END { if (found_symbol) print "}"; }
