Update comment for struct type's length field, introduce type_length_units
This patch tries to clean up a bit the blur around the length field in
struct type, regarding its use with architectures with non-8-bits
addressable memory. It clarifies that the field is expressed in host
bytes, which is what is the closest to the current reality.
It also introduces a new function to get the length of the type in
target addressable memory units.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.c (type_length_units): New function.
* gdbtypes.h (type_length_units): New declaration.
(struct type) <length>: Update comment.
