    Fix incorrect .gdb_index with new DWARF scanner

    PR symtab/29694 points out a regression caused by the new DWARF
    scanner when the cc-with-gdb-index target board is used.

    What happens here is that an older version of gdb will make an index
    describing the "A" type as:

    [737] A: 1 [global, type]

    whereas the new gdb says:

    [1008] A: 0 [global, type]

    Here the old one is correct because the A in CU 0 is just a
    declaration without a size:

     <1><45>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
        <46>   DW_AT_name        : A
        <48>   DW_AT_declaration : 1
        <48>   DW_AT_sibling     : <0x6d>

    This patch fixes the problem by introducing the idea of a "type
    declaration".  I think gdb still needs to recurse into these types,
    searching for methods, but by marking the type itself as a
    declaration, gdb can skip this type during lookups and when writing
    the index.

    Regression tested on x86-64 using the cc-with-gdb-index board.
