[PATCH v6 49/57] dyndbg: add structs _ddebug_hdr, _ddebug_site_hdr

[Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>]

Add new structs _ddebug_hdr and _ddebug_site_hdr, latter for symmetry.

The job of the struct _ddebug_hdr is to:

Contain an _uplink member, which points up to the _ddebug_info
record that keeps builtin and module's dyndbg state.  That record is
init'd (by dynamic_debug_init for builtins, or find_module_sections
for loadables).

Be declared in .gnu.linkonce.dyndbg section, which places it just
before the __dyndbg section; a fixed relative offset.

This allows _ddebug_map_site(desc) to cheaply compute
&descs[desc._index], &descs[0], then container_of() to get the header
and its ._uplink, to the _ddebug_info, which gives access to
->sites[desc->_map].

Structurally, the header has a single unnamed union (which exposes its
field names upward) containing an embedded struct _ddebug{,_site}
(this forces the size to be compatible with the array/section its
destined for), shared with our new struct _ddebug_info * _uplink
member, which is also inside an unnamed struct, to allow adding other
fields later to use the remaining space.

In dynamic_debug.c: ref the linker symbols for the headers, print them
to confirm expected linkages; things look proper.  Add a header ref to
struct _ddebug_info, to facilitate the validity checks.
