Add documentation to gdb_compile

This patch adds some documentation to gdb_compile.  It describes the
various options that can influence compilation.  Most of them are
handled by DejaGnu, but are not really documented anywhere, so I think
it's good to have a quick reference.  Not all possible options are
described, that would add way to much noise.  I chose those that I think
are relevant in the context of writing a test case.

# Compile source files specified by SOURCE into a binary of type TYPE at path
# DEST. gdb_compile is implemented using DejaGnu's target_compile, so the type
# parameter and most options are passed directly to it.
#
# The type can be one of the following:
#
# - object: Compile into an object file.
# - executable: Compile and link into an executable.
# - preprocess: Preprocess the source files.
# - assembly: Generate assembly listing.
#
# The following options are understood and processed by gdb_compile:
#
# - shlib=so_path: Add SO_PATH to the sources, and enable some target-specific
# quirks to be able to use shared libraries.
# - shlib_load: Link with appropriate libraries to allow the test to
# dynamically load libraries at runtime. For example, on Linux, this adds
# -ldl so that the test can use dlopen.
# - nowarnings: Inhibit all compiler warnings.
#
# And here are some of the not too obscure options understood by DejaGnu that
# influence the compilation:
#
# - additional_flags=flag: Add FLAG to the compiler flags.
# - libs=library: Add LIBRARY to the libraries passed to the linker. The
# argument can be a file, in which case it's added to the sources, or a
# linker flag.
# - ldflags=flag: Add FLAG to the linker flags.
# - incdir=path: Add PATH to the searched include directories.
# - libdir=path: Add PATH to the linker searched directories.
# - ada, c++, f77: Compile the file as Ada, C++ or Fortran.
# - debug: Build with debug information.
# - optimize: Build with optimization.
