[Bug translator/11553] New: need better message for return probe on inline function

If I request a .return probe on a function that the compiler decides to inline,
the error message I get is something like this:
semantic error: no match while resolving probe point
process("./a.out").function("inc").return
... which is technically true, but not as helpful as it could be. It'd be nice
if you could add something like:
(This function is inlined, so no return probe is possible.)
It is indeed documented that you can't have return probes on inline functions;
but have pity on the novice user, who may not be aware of this limitation and/or
gcc's penchant for inlining functions -- even those you've explicitly asked it
not to inline.
