        PowerPC, fix support for printing the function return value for non-trivial values.
    
    The functionality can now be used to fix gdb.base/retval-large-struct.exp.
    The test just needs to be compiled with -fvar-tracking to enable GDB to
    determine the address off the return buffer when the function is called.
    
    The current output from the test:
    
    34        return big_struct;
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/retval-large-struct.exp: continue to breakpoint: Break in print_large_struct
    finish
    warning: Cannot determine the function return value.
    Try compiling with -fvar-tracking.
    Run till exit from #0  return_large_struct () at binutils-gdb-current/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/retval-large-struct.c:34
    main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffcd58) at binutils-gdb-current/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/retval-large-struct.c:44
    44        return 0;
    Value returned has type: struct big_struct_t. Cannot determine contents
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/retval-large-struct.exp: finish from return_large_struct
    testcase binutils-gdb-current/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/retval-large-struct.exp completed in 1 seconds
    
    This patch adds the command line argument -fvar-tracking to enable gdb to
    determine the return vaule and thus fixing the test.
    
    Patch tested on Power 10 with no regressions.
