Create subobject value in pretty printer
Nowadays, we create a value of subobject in pretty printer with 'address'
being used,
value = value_from_contents_and_address (type, valaddr + embedded_offset,
address + embedded_offset);
set_value_component_location (value, val);
/* set_value_component_location resets the address, so we may
need to set it again. */
if (VALUE_LVAL (value) != lval_internalvar
&& VALUE_LVAL (value) != lval_internalvar_component
&& VALUE_LVAL (value) != lval_computed)
set_value_address (value, address + embedded_offset);
value_from_contents_and_address creates a value from memory, but the
value we are pretty-printing may not from memory at all.
Instead of using value_from_contents_and_address, we create a value
of subobject with the same location as object's but different offset.
We avoid using address in this way. As a result, parameter 'address'
in apply_val_pretty_printer is no longer needed, we can remove it in
next step.
We've already had the location of the 'whole' value, so it is safe
to assume we can create a value of 'component' or 'suboject' value
at the same location but with different offset.
