gdb currently supports two different styles of fixed-point. The
original style, where fixed point types are "GNAT encoded", is handled
primarily in the Ada code. The newer style, encoded using DWARF, is
handled by the core of gdb.
This patch changes gdb to read the GNAT encodings in the DWARF reader
as well. This removes some code and unifies the two paths. As a
result, GNAT-encoded fixed-point now works a bit better.
One possible drawback of this change is that, if someone uses stabs,
then fixed-point might now stop working. I consider stabs to be fully
obsolete, though, so I don't intend to address this.
