    Fix gdb crash when trying to print the address of a synthetic C++ reference
    
    After compiling a program which uses C++ references some optimizations may
    convert the references into synthetic "pointers".  Trying to print the address
    of one of such synthetic references causes gdb to crash with the following
    error:
    
    (gdb) print &ref
    /build/buildd/gdb-7.7.1/gdb/dwarf2loc.c:1624: internal-error: Should not be able to create a lazy value with an enclosing type
    A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
    further debugging may prove unreliable.
    
    Apparently, what was causing it was that value_addr returns a copy of the value
    that represents the reference with its type set to T* instead of T&.  However,
    its enclosing_type is left untouched, which fails a check made in
    read_pieced_value.  We only see the crash happen for references that are
    synthetic because they're treated as pieced values, thus the call to
    read_pieced_value.
    
    On a related note, it seems that in general there are all sorts of breakage
    when working with synthetic references.  This is reported here:

    gdb/ChangeLog:
    2016-04-18  Martin Galvan  <martin.galvan@tallertechnologies.com>
    
    	* valops.c (value_addr): For C++ references, set the copied value's
    	enclosing_type as well.
