Add gdb_caching_proc support_nested_function_tests to lib/gdb.exp

This commit adds the gdb_caching_proc, support_nested_function_tests,
to lib/gdb.exp.  It tests to see whether or not the C compiler has
support for nested function calls.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* lib/gdb.exp (support_nested_function_tests): New proc.
