23b5cae1af Add pretty printers for the NPTL lock types 
This patch adds pretty printers for the following NPTL types:

- pthread_mutex_t
- pthread_mutexattr_t
- pthread_cond_t
- pthread_condattr_t
- pthread_rwlock_t
- pthread_rwlockattr_t

To load the pretty printers into your gdb session, do the following:

python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/glibc/build/nptl/pretty-printers')
end

source /path/to/glibc/source/pretty-printers/nptl-printers.py

You can check which printers are registered and enabled by issuing the
'info pretty-printer' gdb command. Printers should trigger automatically when
trying to print a variable of one of the types mentioned above.

The printers are architecture-independent, and were tested on an AMD64 running
Ubuntu 14.04 and an x86 VM running Fedora 24.

In order to work, the printers need to know the values of various flags that
are scattered throughout pthread.h and pthreadP.h as enums and #defines. Since
replicating these constants in the printers file itself would create a
maintenance burden, I wrote a script called gen-py-const.awk that Makerules uses
to extract the constants. This script is pretty much the same as gen-as-const.awk,
except it doesn't cast the constant values to 'long' and is thorougly documented.
The constants need only to be enumerated in a .pysym file, which is then referenced
by a Make variable called gen-py-const-headers.

As for the install directory, I discussed this with Mike Frysinger and Siddhesh
Poyarekar, and we agreed that it can be handled in a separate patch, and shouldn't
block merging of this one.

In addition, I've written a series of test cases for the pretty printers.
Each lock type (mutex, condvar and rwlock) has two test programs, one for itself
and other for its related 'attributes' object. Each test program in turn has a
PExpect-based Python script that drives gdb and compares its output to the
expected printer's. The tests run on the glibc host, which is assumed to have
both gdb and PExpect; if either is absent the tests will fail with code 77
(UNSUPPORTED). For cross-testing you should use cross-test-ssh.sh as test-wrapper.
I've tested the printers on both native builds and a cross build using a Beaglebone
Black running Debian, with the build system's filesystem shared with the board
through NFS.

Finally, I've written a README that explains all this and more.

c10f90dcef Revert "Add pretty printers for the NPTL lock types" 
This reverts commit 62ce266b0b.

The change is not mature enough because it needs the following fixes:

1. Redirect test output to a file like other tests

2. Eliminate the need to use a .gdbinit because distributions will
   break without it.  I should have caught that but I was in too much
   of a hurry to get the patch in :/

3. Feature checking during configure to determine things like minimum
   required gdb version, python-pexpect version, etc. to make sure
   that tests work correctly.

Hopefully this should be good to go in now. Thanks.
