gdb, types: Resolve pointer types dynamically

This commit allows pointers to be dynamic types (on the outmost level). Similar to references, a pointer is considered a dynamic type if its target type is a dynamic type and it is on the outmost level. Also this commit removes the redundant code inside function "value_check_printable" for handling of DW_AT_associated type. The pointer resolution follows the one of references. This change generally makes the GDB output more verbose. We are able to print more details about a pointer's target like the dimension of an array. In Fortran, if we have a pointer to a dynamic type type buffer real, dimension(:), pointer :: ptr end type buffer type(buffer), pointer :: buffer_ptr allocate (buffer_ptr) allocate (buffer_ptr%ptr (5)) which then gets allocated, we now resolve the dynamic type before printing the pointer's type: Before: (gdb) ptype buffer_ptr type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer real(kind=4) :: alpha(:) End Type buffer ) After: (gdb) ptype buffer_ptr type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer real(kind=4) :: alpha(5) End Type buffer ) Similarly in C++ we can dynamically resolve e.g. pointers to arrays: int len = 3; int arr[len]; int (*ptr)[len]; int ptr = &arr; Once the pointer is assigned one gets: Before: (gdb) p ptr $1 = (int (*)[variable length]) 0x123456 (gdb) ptype ptr type = int (*)[variable length] After: (gdb) p ptr $1 = (int (*)[3]) 0x123456 (gdb) ptype ptr type = int (*)[3] For more examples see the modified/added test cases.
