Fix array stride bug
Investigation of using the Python API with an Ada program showed that
an array of dynamic types was not being handled properly. I tracked
this down to an oddity of how array strides are handled.
In gdb, an array stride can be attached to the range type, via the
range_bounds object. However, the stride can also be put into the
array's first field. From create_range_type_with_stride:
else if (bit_stride > 0)
TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (result_type, 0) = bit_stride;
It's hard to be sure why this is done, but I would guess a combination
of historical reasons plus a desire (mentioned in a comment somewhere)
to avoid modifying the range type.
This patch fixes the problem by changing type::bit_stride to
understand this convention. It also fixes one spot that reproduces
this logic.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 32.
