Rollup merge of #148541 - tromey:add-num-children, r=bjorn3

Add num_children method to some gdb pretty-printers

gdb doesn't have a way to know when an object hasn't yet been initialized, and in this case, if a pretty-printer returns an absurd number of children, this can result in apparent hangs in some modes. This came up specifically with DAP, see this bug report:

    https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33594

This patch (mostly) addresses this potential issue in the Rust pretty-printers, by adding 'num_children' methods.  In particular a method like this is added when the number of children is variable and also relatively easy to compute.  (I.e., I didn't attempt the btree printers.)

Supplying num_children is good for DAP regardless of the initialization problem, because DAP requires a count of child objects and this is more efficient than enumerating the children, which is gdb's fallback approach.
