gdb/testsuite: Make it possible to use TCL variables in DWARF assembler loclists

It is currently not possible to use variables in locations lists.  For
example, with:

  diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/loclists-multiple-cus.exp b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/loclists-multiple-cus.exp
  index 6b4f5c8cbb8..cdbf948619f 100644
  --- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/loclists-multiple-cus.exp
  +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/loclists-multiple-cus.exp
  @@ -30,6 +30,8 @@ if {![dwarf2_support]} {
       return 0
   }

  +set myconst 0x123456
  +
   # Test with 32-bit and 64-bit DWARF.
   foreach_with_prefix is_64 {false true} {
       if { $is_64 } {
  @@ -49,6 +51,7 @@ foreach_with_prefix is_64 {false true} {
  global func1_addr func1_len
  global func2_addr func2_len
  global is_64
  +       global myconst

  # The CU uses the DW_FORM_loclistx form to refer to the .debug_loclists
  # section.
  @@ -107,7 +110,7 @@ foreach_with_prefix is_64 {false true} {
  list_ {
      # When in func1.
      start_length $func1_addr $func1_len {
  -                       DW_OP_constu 0x123456
  +                       DW_OP_constu $myconst
  DW_OP_stack_value
      }

we get:

  $ make check TESTS="*/loclists-multiple-cus.exp"
  ...
  gdb compile failed, build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/loclists-multiple-cus/loclists-multiple-cus-dw32.S: Assembler messages:
  build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/loclists-multiple-cus/loclists-multiple-cus-dw32.S:78: Error: leb128 operand is an undefined symbol: $myconst
  ...

That means $myconst was copied literally to the generated assembly
file.

This patch fixes it, by running subst on the location list body, in
the context of the caller.  The fix is applied to both
Dwarf::loclists::table::list_::start_length and
Dwarf::loclists::table::list_::start_end.
