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.
