  find_pc_partial_function() still returns the lowest and highest address
of a function even when that function contains non-contiguous ranges.
In cases where greater discrimination is required, the BLOCK parameter
may be examined to determine the actual entry PC.

This patch uses the BLOCK return value from find_pc_partial_function()
to obtain the entry PC. If no block is found - which can happen when
only minimal symbols are available - then the start address provided
by find_pc_partial_function() will still be used (as before).

gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* infrun.c (fill_in_stop_func): Use BLOCK_ENTRY_PC to
    	determine stop_func_start in the execution control state.

This one looks good to me, given how the stop_func_start field seems to
be used.  From what I understand, it is used as the entry point of the
function, therefore BLOCK_ENTRY_PC seems appropriate.

block != nullptr
