AW: extension to -fdump-tree-*-raw

Hi Giovanni,
  I have to write this in Outlook, so I don't even try to get the quoting
right. Sorry. :-(

But it would break applications relying on the old format. Also it wouldn't
adress issues like this one:

@3      modify_expr      type: @5       op 0: @6       op 1: @7

Does "op" belong to the value of "type" or does it belong to the "0"? True,
this doesn't make parsing impossible but the parser needs to be really
specific to not fall into that trap. Having every "key-value pair" on a
separate line makes parsing much easier though it isn't quite as friendly to
the human reader anymore.

There is no format either. dump-tree is *very* specific of GCC inners, and
it can dramatically changes between releases. OK, maybe not the syntax, but
the semantic. I wouldn't care of the syntax at that point.

Yes, and I don't want to make any promise of any kind.

| OK, maybe not the syntax,

the syntax may change too.  It just did for 4.1.
