Fix setting-breakpoints regression on PPC64 (function descriptors)

The recent-ish commit e5f25bc5d6db ('Fix "list ambiguous_variable"')
caused a serious regression on PPC64.  See
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-11/msg00666.html>.

Basically, after that patch, GDB sets breakpoints in function
descriptors instead of where the descriptors point to, which is
incorrect.

The problem is that GDB now only runs a minsym's address through
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr if msymbol_is_text returns true.
However, if the symbol points to a function descriptor,
msymbol_is_text is false since function descriptors are in fact
outside the text section.

The fix is to also run a non-text address through
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr, and if that detects that it was
indeed a function descriptor, treat the resulting address as a
function.

While implementing that directly in linespec.c:minsym_found (where the
bad msymbol_is_text check is) fixes the issue, I noticed that
linespec.c:add_minsym has some code that also basically needs to do
the same checks, however it's implemented differently.  Also,
add_minsym is calling find_pc_sect_line on non-function symbols, which
also doesn't look right.

So I introduced msymbol_is_function, so that we have a simple place to
consider minsyms and function descriptors.

And then, the only other use of msymbol_is_text is in
find_function_alias_target, which turns out to also be incorrect.
Changing that one to use msymbol_is_function, i.e., to consider
function descriptors too fixes (on PPC64):

  -FAIL: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p func_alias
  -FAIL: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p *func_alias()
  +PASS: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p func_alias
  +PASS: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p *func_alias()

And then after that, msymbol_is_text is no longer used anywhere, so it
can be removed.

Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux, no regressions.  Tested on PPC64 GNU/Linux
and results compared to a testrun of e5f25bc5d6db^ (before the
offending commit), also no regressions.  (there's a couple new FAILs
and some new symbol name matching unit tests are crashing, but that
looks unrelated).
