  Fix a functional regression and restore the handling of DW_CC_program 
code of DW_AT_calling_convention attribute for determining the name of 
the starting function of the program where the DW_AT_main_subprogram 
attribute has not been provided, such as with Fortran code compiled with 
GCC versions 4.5.4 and below, or where DWARF version 3 or below has been 
requested.  Without it "main" is considered the starting function.  Cf. 
GCC PR fortran/43414.

Original code was removed with commit 6209cde4ddb8 ("Delete DWARF 
psymtab code"), and then an update to complement commit 81873cc81eff 
("[gdb/symtab] Support DW_AT_main_subprogram with -readnow.") has also 
been included here.

NB this was discovered with and is covered by the test case included with 
3/3; it has been verified to trigger with GCC 4.4.7 and will likely also 
with other configurations.
