Synchronize libiberty with gcc and add --no-recruse-limit option to tools that support name demangling.
This patch addresses the multitude of bug reports about resource exhaustion
in libiberty's name demangling code. It adds a limit to the amount of
recursion that is allowed, before an error is triggered. It also adds a
new demangling option to disable this limit. (The limit is enabled by
default).

libiberty * cp-demangle.h (struct d_info): Add recursion_limit field.
* cp-demangle.c (d_function_type): If the recursion limit is
enabled and reached, return with a failure result.
(d_demangle_callback): If the recursion limit is enabled, check
for a mangled string that is so long that there is not enough
stack space for the local arrays.
* cplus-dem.c (struct work): Add recursion_level field.
(demangle_nested_args): If the recursion limit is enabled and
reached, return with a failure result.
include * demangle.h (DMGL_RECURSE_LIMIT): Define.
(DEMANGLE_RECURSION_LIMIT): Prototype.
binutuils * addr2line.c (demangle_flags): New static variable.
(long_options): Add --recurse-limit and --no-recurse-limit.
(translate_address): Pass demangle_flags to bfd_demangle.
(main): Handle --recurse-limit and --no-recurse-limit options.
* cxxfilt.c (flags): Add DMGL_RECURSE_LIMIT.
(long_options): Add --recurse-limit and --no-recurse-limit.
(main): Handle new options.
* dlltool.c (gen_def_file): Include DMGL_RECURSE_LIMIT in flags
passed to cplus_demangle.
