This is a patch series containing:
- a gdb patch introducing a new version of the .gdb_index section,
  adding a shortcut table.
- a readelf patch adding the capability to read the new version, as
  well print the shortcuts table.

This is v4 of the gdb patch.  The v3 was submitted here (
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-August/201568.html ).

Changes in v4:
- fixed a few whitespace issues.
- reformulated 'A 32-bit little-endian value' to 'An @code{offset_type} value'
  in the docs.
- mentioned PR symtab/30946 in the commit log.
- updated a pre-existing unit test.

I've already approved v3, and the v4 changes are trivial.

The readelf patch is new.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
