A user noticed that "watch -location" would fail with a "restrict"
pointer. The issue here is that if the DWARF mentions "restrict", gdb
will put this into the type name -- but then the C parser will not be
able to parse this type.
This patch adds support for "restrict" and "_Atomic" to the C parser.
C++ doesn't have "restrict", but does have some GCC extensions. The
type printer is changed to handle this difference as well, so that
watch expressions will work properly.

* gdb.base/cvexpr.exp: Add test for _Atomic and restrict.
This introduces a new "type_stack" class, and moves all the parser
type stack handling to this class. Parsers that wish to use this
facility must now instantiate this class somehow. I chose this
approach because a minority of the existing parsers require this.
