vla: evaluate operand of sizeof if its type is a vla
The c99 standard in "6.5.3.4 The sizeof operator" states:
If the type of the operand is a variable length array type, the operand
is evaluated;[...]
This patch mirrors the following c99 semantic in gdb:
1| int vla[n][m];
2| int i = 1;
3| sizeof(vla[i++][0]); // No sideffect
4| assert (i == 1);
5| sizeof(vla[i++]); // With sideffect
6| assert (i == 2);
Note: ptype/whatis still do not allow any sideeffects.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* eval.c (evaluate_subexp_for_sizeof): Add enum noside argument.
(evaluate_subexp_standard): Pass noside argument.
(evaluate_subexp_for_sizeof) <BINOP_SUBSCRIPT>: Handle subscript case
if noside equals EVAL_NORMAL. If the subscript yields a vla type
re-evaluate subscript operation with EVAL_NORMAL to enable sideffects.
* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_bounds): Mark bound as evaluated.
* gdbtypes.h (enum range_flags): Add RANGE_EVALUATED case.
testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/vla-sideeffect.c: New file.
* gdb.base/vla-sideeffect.exp: New file.
