infcall, c++: allow more info to be computed for pass-by-reference values

In C++, call-by-value arguments that cannot be trivially copied are
implicitly passed by reference.  When making an infcall, GDB needs to
find out if an argument is pass-by-reference or not, so that the
correct semantics can be followed.  This patch enriches the
information computed by the language ops for pass-by-reference
arguments.  Instead of a plain binary result, the computed information
now includes whether the argument is

  - copy constructible
  - destructible
  - trivially copyable
  - trivially copy constructible
  - trivially destructible

This information is stored in a struct named 'language_pass_by_ref_info'.

This patch paves the way for GDB's infcall mechanism to call the copy
ctor and the destructor of a pass-by-ref argument appropriately.
