Changes in DejaGnu 1.6.2 mean that our testsuite will no longer run.
This is because of some confusion over how the gdb.exp file is
handled.
The gdb.exp file is really the tool init file, which is loaded from
within the DejaGnu core, and it should not be loaded directly from any
other file in the testsuite.
DejaGnu tries to prevent the same library being loaded twice by
remembering the names of library files as they are loaded. Until
recently loading the tool init file in DejaGnu was very similar to
loading a library file, as a result, loading the gdb.exp tool init
file simply recorded 'gdb.exp' as having been loaded, future attempts
to load 'gdb.exp' as a library would then be ignored (as the file was
marked as already loaded).
DejaGnu has now changed so that it supports having both a tool init
file and a library with the same name, something that was not possible
before. What this means however is that when the core loads the
'gdb.exp' tool init file it no longer marks the library 'gdb.exp' as
having been loaded. When we then execute 'load_lib gdb.exp' we then
try to reload the 'gdb.exp' file.
Unfortunately our gdb.exp file can only be loaded once. It use of
'rename cd builtin_cd' means that a second attempt to load this file
will fail.
This was discussed on the DejaGnu list here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2019-03/msg00000.html
and the suggested advice is that, unless we have some real requirement
to load the tool init file twice, we should remove calls to 'load_lib
gdb.exp' and rely on DejaGnu to load the file for us, which is what
this patch does.
I've tested with native X86-64/GNU Linux and see no regressions.

This changes magic_null_ptid, not_sent_ptid, and any_thread_ptid to be
"const". This is a minor improvement that makes it so these can't be
accidentally modified.
Tested by rebuilding. I'm checking this in.

Compressed debug sections can have uncompressed sizes that exceed the
original file size, so we can't use bfd_get_file_size. objdump also
used bfd_get_file_size to limit reloc section size, but I believe the
underlying bug causing the PR22508 out of bounds buffer access was
that we had an integer overflow when calculating the reloc buffer
size. I've fixed that instead in most of the backends, som and
vms-alpha being the exceptions. SOM and vmd-alpha have rather more
serious bugs in their slurp_relocs routines that would need fixing
first if we want to fuss about making them safe against fuzzed object
files.
The patch also fixes a number of other potential overflows by using
the bfd_alloc2/malloc2/zalloc2 memory allocation functions.

dwarf2_find_containing_comp_unit has two assignments to "this_cu" in
quick succession, both of which are just:
this_cu = dwarf2_per_objfile->all_comp_units[low];
... with no intervening assignments.
This patch removes the second assignment. I'm checking this in as
obvious. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.

well just let them go to the default case.

Using the same notation as for the thread evenets (i.e. 'such as') gives:

Not padding string merge section output to its alignment can cause
failures of the S-record tests when input string merge sections are
padded, since the ELF linker output for the single string section
would shrink compared to the SREC linker output. That might result in
following sections having different addresses.
On the other hand, padding string merge section output when input
string merge sections are *not* padded can also cause failures, in
this case due to the ELF linker output for the string section being
larger (due to padding) than the SREC linker output.
It would be better to write a more robust test, but it is also nice
to leave input unchanged when no string merges occur.

TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED doesn't have an associated event thread, so
we shouldn't be referring to inferior_thread() assuming it points to
one.
This was caught on the multi-target branch, where we always switch to
no-thread-selected whenever we start handling an event, exactly to
catch places that incorrectly use "inferior_ptid/inferior_thread()"
without switching to the right event thread / target.
Here, on the branch, we assert in inferior_thread() because
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED doesn't have an associated event thread, so
inferior_ptid is still null_ptid.

This removes the last cleanups from stabsread.c. Similar code in
dwarf2read.c was C++-ified, but considering that stabs are deprecated,
it seemed simpler to just change these allocations to use an obstack

This patch renames field_info to stabs_field_info -- adding a
constructor here provoked a bug due to the resulting ODR violation.
