Make ptype/whatis print function name of functions with no debug info too
The patch to make GDB stop assuming functions return int left GDB with
an inconsistency. While with normal expression evaluation the
"unknown return type" error shows the name of the function that misses
debug info:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^
which is handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^^^
This commit builds on the new OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE to fix it, by making
OP_FUNCALL extract the function name from the symbol stored in
OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE. We now get the same error in "print"
vs "ptype":
(gdb) ptype getenv()
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) p getenv()
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type

with unknown return type includes the function name too.
