This patch sanitizes the access to gdbarch made by various functions of
the SDT probe API. Before this patch, gdbarch was being accessed via
the probe's objfile; however, this proved to cause a bug on 32-bit ARM
targets because during the parsing of the probe's arguments the code
needed to access some pseudo-registers of the architecture, and this
information is not fully correct on the objfile's gdbarch.
Basically, the approach taken was to instead pass the current/selected
frame to the parsing and evaluation functions, so that they can extract
the gdbarch directly from the frame. It solved the ARM bug reported
above, and also contributed to make the API cleaner.
Tested on x86_64 and 32-bit ARM.

* break-catch-throw.c (fetch_probe_arguments): Pass selected frame
to get_probe_argument_count and evaluate_probe_argument.
* probe.c (get_probe_argument_count): Adjust declaration to accept
frame. Pass frame to probe_ops's get_probe_argument_count.
(evaluate_probe_argument): Likewise, for evaluate_probe_argument.
(probe_safe_evaluate_at_pc): Pass frame to
get_probe_argument_count and evaluate_probe_argument.

interface can evaluate arguments. Warning the user if it cannot.

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
* common/gdb_vecs.c: New file, contents from utils.c.
* common/host-defs.h: New file, contents from defs.h.
* utils.h: New file, contents from defs.h.
* defs.h: Move all declarations of objects defined in utils.c
to utils.h (except QUIT() and related).
#include "utils.h", "host-defs.h".
* probe.h (probe_p): Move here from gdb_vecs.h.
* symfile.c: #include "probe.h" instead of "gdb_vecs.h".
