    btf: do not use the CHAR `encoding' bit for BTF
    
    Contrary to CTF and our previous expectations, as per [1], turns out
    that in BTF:
    
    1) The `encoding' field in integer types shall not be treated as a
       bitmap, but as an enumerated, i.e. these bits are exclusive to each
       other.
    
    2) The CHAR bit in `encoding' shall _not_ be set when emitting types
       for char nor `unsigned char'.
    
    Consequently this patch clears the CHAR bit before emitting the
    variable part of BTF integral types.  It also updates the testsuite
    accordingly, expanding it to check for BOOL bits.

    gcc/ChangeLog:
    
            * btfout.cc (output_asm_btf_vlen_bytes): Do not use the CHAR
            encoding bit in BTF.
    
    gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
            * gcc.dg/debug/btf/btf-int-1.c: Do not check for char bits in
            bti_encoding and check for bool bits.
