event_location -> location_spec

Currently, GDB internally uses the term "location" for both the
location specification the user input (linespec, explicit location, or
an address location), and for actual resolved locations, like the
breakpoint locations, or the result of decoding a location spec to
SaLs.  This is expecially confusing in the breakpoints module, as
struct breakpoint has these two fields:

  breakpoint::location;
  breakpoint::loc;

"location" is the location spec, and "loc" is the resolved locations.

And then, we have a method called "locations()", which returns the
resolved locations as range...

The location spec type is presently called event_location:

  /* Location we used to set the breakpoint.  */
  event_location_up location;

and it is described like this:

  /* The base class for all an event locations used to set a stop event
     in the inferior.  */

  struct event_location
  {

and even that is incorrect...  Location specs are used for finding
actual locations in the program in scenarios that have nothing to do
with stop events.  E.g., "list" works with location specs.

To clean all this confusion up, this patch renames "event_location" to
"location_spec" throughout, and then all the variables that hold a
location spec, they are renamed to include "spec" in their name, like
e.g., "location" -> "locspec".  Similarly, functions that work with
location specs, and currently have just "location" in their name are
renamed to include "spec" in their name too.
