[debug-early] do not add location info/etc to abstract instances

Hi Jason.

As discussed on IRC, DIEs of abstract instances of functions (those 
tagged with DW_AT_inline), cannot include information that would be 
different between an abstract inline and an out-of-line copy.  This, as 
well as (seeming) gdb snafus regarding abstract origins, was the reason 
I was seeing less guality regressions on my branch.

With the current patch, not only do we fix this oversight, but are now 
at feature *and* bug parity with mainline.  I guess that's good :(.

There were a few problems that needed fixing.  First, 
gen_formal_parameter_die() was reusing the abstract instance DIE's 
parameter, instead of creating a new die with abstract origin set. 
Also, gen_formal_parameter_die() had some old Michael code, working 
around decl_ultimate_origin hacks.  I've fixed all of these problems.

I also fixed gen_subprogram_die(), so it's more aware of a previously 
generated die.

I would appreciate if you could take a look at this patch, particularly 
at the gen_formal_parameter_die change, since I'm not sure what the 
proper way is of checking that a parameter belongs to an abstract 
instance.  Below is what I'm using:

>    bool reusing_die;
> -  if (parm_die)
> +  if (parm_die
> +      /* Make sure the function to which this parameter belongs to is
> +	 not an abstract instance.  If it is, we can't reuse anything.
> +	 We must create a new DW_TAG_formal_parameter with a
> +	 corresponding DW_AT_abstract_origin.  */
> +      && !get_AT (context_die, DW_AT_abstract_origin))
>      reusing_die = true;

Also, seeing as my changes could potentially render invalid DIEs, I 
thought it best to add, at the very least, a check for the inline 
problem described above (see check_die_inline).  For that matter, I 
wonder if we could add more checks to check_die() to make it a general 
dwarf DIE sanity checker.  It still amazes me that you dwarf hackers do 
all this magic, without any sort of checks.

And finally, making changes to _when_ we generate DIEs can sometimes 
lead to NOT generating DIEs early, and silently behaving like mainline 
(that is, generating everything at the end of compilation).  To solve 
this problem, which I'm sure I'll stumble into, I've added 
-fdump-early-debug-stats which will set the ->dumped_early bit in every 
DIE generated after parsing, and then dumping the DIEs after the late 
dwarf generation has run.  This way I can see if we have too many DIEs 
that were NOT generated early.  It is likely this will only be a 
temporary hacking tool to check I didn't do anything stupid along :).

How does this look?
