ada-tasks.c::read_atcb: start from a cleared ada_task_info result
The purpose of this patch is not to fix a bug per se, but rather to robustify this function to make sure it never returns a struct ada_task_info where some of the fields are left uninitialized. Reading the current implementation, it attempts to methodically set them all one by one: but it's not excluded that a future change might miss something. A memset is cheap and make sure that this function returns repeatable results. This in turns allows us to remove some assignments which have become redundant. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-tasks.c (read_atcb): Clear task_info before computing the value of each of its fields.
