gdb: Remove support for old mangling schemes
An upcoming sync with gcc's libiberty [1] will remove support for old
mangling schemes (GNU v2, Lucid, ARM, HP and EDG). It will remove the
cplus_demangle_opname function, so we need to get rid of its usages in
GDB (it's a GNU v2 specific function).
I think the changes are mostly relatively obvious, some hacks that were
necessary to support overloaded operators with GNU v2 mangling are not
needed anymore.
The change in stabsread.c is perhaps less obvious. I think we could get
rid of more code in that region that is specific to old mangling
schemes, but I chose to do only the minimal changes required to remove
the cplus_demangle_opname uses. There is also a detailed comment just
above that explaining how GNU v2 and v3 mangled symbols are handled, I
decided to leave it as-is, since I wasn't sure which part to remove,
change or leave there.
