DWARF-5: .debug_names index producer
This adds a new "-dwarf-5" switch to "save gdb-index" that makes it
generate index files with DWARF-5 .debug_names/.debug_str sections
instead of GDB's own .gdb_index.
We should probably add a command line option to
contrib/gdb-add-index.sh (incl. cc-with-tweaks.sh) for the new
-dwarf-5 GDB option, and a new target board to make it more convenient
to exercise this. To be done later.
