Add and use definition for IN_SOLIB_TRAMPOLINE which allows wait_for_inferior
to test whether or not it has stepped into the glue that binds an application to a shared library routine.

#include "solib.h" /* Support for shared libraries. */

+/* For SVR4 shared libraries, each call to a library routine goes through
+ a small piece of trampoline code in the ".init" section. Although each
+ of these fragments is labeled with the name of the routine being called,
+ the gdb symbol reading code deliberately ignores them so it won't confuse
+ them with the real functions. It does however know about the label that
+ precedes all of the fragments, which is "_init". Thus when we lookup a
+ function that corresponds to a PC value which is in one of the trampoline
+ fragments, we'll appear to be in the function "_init". The following
+ macro will evaluate to nonzero when NAME is valid and matches "_init".
+ The horribly ugly wait_for_inferior() routine uses this macro to detect
+ when we have stepped into one of these fragments. */
