[PATCH] Use std::vector for displaced_step_inferior_states

[Simon Marchi <simon dot marchi at ericsson dot com>]

Commit

  39a36629f68e ("Use std::forward_list for displaced_step_inferior_states")

changed a hand-made linked list to use std::forward_list of pointers.
As suggested by David Blaikie, we might as well use values instead of
pointers.  And instead of a list, we might as well use a vector.  The
size of this list will always be at most the number of inferiors,
typically very small.  And in any case the operation we do in the
hottest path (doing a displaced step) is iterate, and iterating on a
vector is always faster than a linked list.

A consequence of using a vector is that objects can be moved, when the
vector is resized.  I don't think this is a problem, because we don't
save the address of the objects.  In displaced_step_prepare_throw, we
save a pointer to the step_saved_copy field in a cleanup, but it is ran
or discarded immediately after.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* infrun.c (struct displaced_step_inferior_state): Add
	constructor, initialize fields.
	<failed_before>: Change type to bool.
	(displaced_step_inferior_states): Change type to vector.
	(get_displaced_stepping_state): Adjust.
	(displaced_step_in_progress_any_inferior): Adjust.
	(add_displaced_stepping_state): Adjust.
	(remove_displaced_stepping_state): Adjust.
	(displaced_step_prepare): Change 1 to true.
