Bruno Larsen 1f3e37e057 gdb/reverse: Fix stepping over recursive functions
Currently, when using GDB to do reverse debugging, if we try to use the
command "reverse next" to skip a recursive function, instead of skipping
all of the recursive calls and stopping in the previous line, we stop at
the second to last recursive call, and need to manually step backwards
until we leave the first call.  This is well documented in PR gdb/16678.

This bug happens because when GDB notices that a reverse step has
entered into a function, GDB will add a step_resume_breakpoint at the
start of the function, then single step out of the prologue once that
breakpoint is hit.  The problem was happening because GDB wouldn't give
that step_resume_breakpoint a frame-id, so the first time the breakpoint
was hit, the inferior would be stopped.  This is fixed by giving the
current frame-id to the breakpoint.

This commit also changes gdb.reverse/step-reverse.c to contain a
recursive function and attempt to both, skip it altogether, and to skip
the second call from inside the first call, as this setup broke a
previous version of the patch.
