[4/4] RFC: dynamic arrays and DW_FORM_exprloc


A -gdwarf-4 regression:

-PASS: gdb.fortran/multi-dim.exp: print valid variable bound array element
+FAIL: gdb.fortran/multi-dim.exp: print valid variable bound array element

The bug here is that with DWARF 4, GCC uses DW_FORM_exprloc when
emitting the bounds of a variably-sized array.  GDB, however, only
checks for DW_FORM_block1.

Jan, any comments?

Built and regtested by the buildbot.
