Introduce forward_scope_exit

This adds a template that can be used to automatically instantiate
scope_exit-like types that wrap some cleanup function.  The
instantiated type has a ctor that has the same interface as the
wrapped function.  While the "magic" is just straight C++11, the
intended use is via the FORWARD_SCOPE_EXIT macro, which is a minimal
macro that avoids spelling out the wrapped function name more than
once:

 void some_function (int foo, object *bar);
 using some_function_fce = FORWARD_SCOPE_EXIT (some_function);
 some_function_fce cleanup (some_int, some_obj_ptr);

The above runs:
  some_function (some_int, some_obj_ptr);
at scope exit.

This is mainly useful as opposed to a simpler SCOPE_EXIT when you need
to:
  - cancel the scope_exit, in which case you need the object's name
  - wrap the scope_exit in a gdb::optional, in which case you need the
    scope_exit's type in advance.

More details in the code comments.

+/* A forward_scope_exit is like scope_exit, but instead of giving it a
+   callable, you instead specialize it for a given cleanup function,
+   and the generated class automatically has a constructor with the
+   same interface as the cleanup function.  forward_scope_exit
+   captures the arguments passed to the ctor, and in turn passes those
+   as arguments to the wrapped cleanup function, when it is called at
+   scope exit time, from within the forward_scope_exit dtor.  The
+   forward_scope_exit class can take any number of arguments, and is
+   cancelable if needed.
+
+   This allows usage like this:
+
+      void
+      delete_longjmp_breakpoint (int arg)
+      {
+       // Blah, blah, blah...
+      }
+
+      using longjmp_breakpoint_cleanup
+       = FORWARD_SCOPE_EXIT (delete_longjmp_breakpoint);
+
+   This above created a new cleanup class `longjmp_breakpoint_cleanup`
+   than can then be used like this:
+
+      longjmp_breakpoint_cleanup obj (thread);
+
+      // Blah, blah, blah...
+
+      obj.release ();  // Optional cancel if needed.
+
+   forward_scope_exit is also handy when you would need to wrap a
+   scope_exit in a gdb::optional:
+
+      gdb::optional<longjmp_breakpoint_cleanup> cleanup;
+      if (some condition)
+       cleanup.emplace (thread);
+      ...
+      if (cleanup)
+       cleanup->release ();
+
+   since with scope exit, you would have to know the scope_exit's
+   callable template type when you create the gdb::optional:
+
+     gdb:optional<scope_exit<what goes here?>>
+
+   The "forward" naming fits both purposes shown above -- the class
+   "forwards" ctor arguments to the wrapped cleanup function at scope
+   exit time, and can also be used to "forward declare"
+   scope_exit-like objects.  */
