Re: [RFC 0/7] Move language-related stuff out of varobj.c

This patch series is to move language-related stuff out of varobj.c
to ada-varobj.c, c-varobj.c and jv-varobj.c.  This will shorten
varobj.c, and make it easier for varobj support for new languages.

Nowadays, we have 'struct language_specific' which is about language
operations in varobj.  This can be moved out of varobj.c and shared
for different languages.  This is what patch 5/7 does.  Operations
of each language need to know 'struct varobj', so 'struct varobj'
should be moved to varobj.h.  This is what patch 4/7 does.  Note
that we don't move all 'struct varobj' to varobj.h because some fields
are related to dynamic varobj, and make no sense to expose them.
I move basic part of 'struct varobj' to varobj.h, and define a new
struct varobj_dynamic to extend 'struct varobj'.

Then, we can move language related operations out of varobj.c to
c-varobj.c, ada-varobj.c and jv-varobj.c respectively.  This is
done by patch 6/7.

Patch 1/7 - 3/7 are cleanups, to remove unused bits in varobj.c.
Patch 7/7 is a cleanup too.

Note that static array 'languages' is still used in varobj.c, which
is not really necessary.  We can remove it and move each
'struct lang_varobj_ops *' to be a field of 'struct language_defn'.
I don't include this change in this series because I'd like to post
patches for review before I go too far away.

The whole series is tested on x86_64-linux.  Comments?
