Fixes #2195.

The testing procedure mimics the way clang/llvm does their debuginfo tests - it creates a debugging commands script from directives in the header file which gdb runs in batch mode with the executable, and then checks if output is as expected. I have two very simple tests included, and they're both ignored because rust doesn't seem to emit good enough symbols for them to pass (by the way, I'll see if I can help fix that).

Note that once debug info tests are enabled, gdb will become a dependency for 'make check'.

(This replaces a pull request based on an earlier commit.)

Are we okay with making gdb a dependency? @pcwalton / @brson / anyone else?

@catamorphism That's a good point, and no I don't think so. I think turning debug info tests off if configure doesn't find gdb would be appropriate. We could also turn the gdb tests off by default (like the perf tests) and just configure the bots to run them, but i prefer the former. I am going to take a stab at that - I want to try to put a big warning on the test output that some tests weren't run - but I'm going to r+ this anyway to see how the bots feel about gdb.

Oh, it looks like this doesn't make the debuginfo tests run by default, so I think we're ok as far as the gdb dependency. You would have to type make check-stage1-debuginfo to run these.

I opened #4876 with that typo fix and the change to run the tests conditionally
