Tom Tromey 692252c4b0 Handle dynamic DW_AT_data_bit_offset
In Ada, a field can have a dynamic bit offset in its enclosing record.

In DWARF 3, this was handled using a dynamic
DW_AT_data_member_location, combined with a DW_AT_bit_offset -- this
combination worked out ok because in practice GNAT only needs a
dynamic byte offset with a fixed offset within the byte.

However, this approach was deprecated in DWARF 4 and then removed in
DWARF 5.  No replacement approach was given, meaning that in strict
mode there is no way to express this.

This is a DWARF bug, see

    https://dwarfstd.org/issues/250501.1.html

In a discussion on the DWARF mailing list, a couple people mentioned
that compilers could use the obvious extension of a dynamic
DW_AT_data_bit_offset.  I've implemented this for LLVM:

    https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/141106

In preparation for that landing, this patch implements support for
this construct in gdb.

New in v2: renamed some constants and added a helper method, per
Simon's review.

New in v3: more renamings.
