[PATCH 1/3] Convert generic probe interface to C++ (and perform some cleanups)


This patch converts the generic probe interface (gdb/probe.[ch]) to
C++, and also performs some cleanups that were on my TODO list for a
while.

The main changes were the conversion of 'struct probe' to 'class
probe', and 'struct probe_ops' to 'class static_probe_ops'.  The
former now contains all the "dynamic", generic methods that act on a
probe + the generic data related to it; the latter encapsulates a
bunch of "static" methods that relate to the probe type, but not to a
specific probe itself.

I've had to do a few renamings (e.g., on 'struct bound_probe' the
field is called 'probe *prob' now, instead of 'struct probe *probe')
because GCC was complaining about naming the field using the same name
as the class.  Nothing major, though.  Generally speaking, the logic
behind and the design behind the code are the same.

Even though I'm sending a series of patches, they need to be tested
and committed as a single unit, because of inter-dependencies.  But it
should be easier to review in separate logical units.

I've regtested this patch on BuildBot, no regressions found.
