[RFA] Fix frame argument printing when using auto language mode


When debugging a mixed Ada/C program using this scenario:

- set print frame-arguements all
- an Ada function named pck.call_me calls a C function named break_me
- you put a breakpoint in break_me and the program reaches this
  breakpoint.

Now display the backtrace:

 (gdb) bt
 #0  break_me () at [...]
 #1  0x000000000040243e in pck.call_me (
          s={P_ARRAY = 0x7fffffffe21c, P_BOUNDS = 0x41e6e8}) at [...]

whereas we should expect:

 (gdb) bt
 #0  break_me () at [...]
 #1  0x000000000040243e in pck.call_me (s="test") at [...]

The problem is that GDB prints the S parameter in the pck.call_me Ada
function using the current language, so the C one, because the program
is stopped in a C function, whereas it should use the pck.call_me frame
one. This behavior is ok when user manually changes the language but it's
not the right one when language is auto.

This patch fixes this problem so now when using auto language, GDB ensures
that each frame arguments are printed using the language of the frame,
even if the program is stopped in a frame using a different language.

If the user explicitly sets a language (using "set language ...") then
no change here, all the frame arguments are printed using this language.

gdb/ChangeLog:

    * stack.c (print_frame_arg): Set/restore current language to each
    frame's language when using auto mode.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

    * gdb.ada/frame_arg_lang.exp: New testcase.
    * gdb.ada/frame_arg_lang/bla.adb: New file.
    * gdb.ada/frame_arg_lang/pck.ads: New file.
    * gdb.ada/frame_arg_lang/pck.adb: New file.
    * gdb.ada/frame_arg_lang/foo.c: New file.

Tested on x86_64-linux using AdaCore's testsuite.
