Implement pahole-like 'ptype /o' option

This commit implements the pahole-like '/o' option for 'ptype', which
prints the offsets and sizes of struct fields, reporting whenever
there is a hole found.

The output is heavily based on pahole(1), with a few modifications
here and there to adjust it to our reality.  Here's an example:

  /* offset    |  size */  type = struct wer : public tuv {
			   public:
  /*   32      |    24 */    struct tyu {
  /*   32:31   |     4 */        int a1 : 1;
  /*   32:28   |     4 */        int a2 : 3;
  /*   32: 5   |     4 */        int a3 : 23;
  /*   35: 3   |     1 */        char a4 : 2;
  /* XXX  3-bit hole   */
  /* XXX  4-byte hole  */
  /*   40      |     8 */        int64_t a5;
  /*   48:27   |     4 */        int a6 : 5;
  /*   48:56   |     8 */        int64_t a7 : 3;

				 /* total size (bytes):   24 */
			     } a1;

			     /* total size (bytes):   56 */
			   }

A big part of this patch handles the formatting logic of 'ptype',
which is a bit messy.  The code to handle bitfield offsets, however,
took some time to craft.  My thanks to Pedro Alves for figuring things
out and pointing me to the right direction, as well as coming up with
a way to inspect the layout of structs with bitfields (see testcase
for comments).

After many discussions both on IRC and at the mailing list, I tried to
implement printing vtables and inherited classes.  Unfortunately the
code grew too complex and there were still a few corner cases failing
so I had to drop the attempt.  This should be implemented in a future
patch.

This patch is the start of a long-term work I'll do to flush the local
patches we carry for Fedora GDB.  In this specific case, I'm aiming at
upstreaming the feature implemented by the 'pahole.py' script that is
shipped with Fedora GDB:

  <https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/master/f/gdb-archer.patch#_311>

This has been regression-tested on the BuildBot.  There's a new
testcase for it, along with an update to the documentation.  I also
thought it was worth mentioning this feature in the NEWS file.
