gdb: Fix numerical field extraction for target description "flags"

The "val_print_type_code_flags ()" function is responsible for
extraction of fields for "flags" data type.  These data types are
used when describing a custom register type in a target description
XML.  The logic used for the extraction though is not sound:

    unsigned field_len = TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (type, field);
    ULONGEST field_val
      = val >> (TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS (type, field) - field_len + 1);

TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE: The bit length of the field to be extracted.
TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS:  The starting position of the field; 0 is LSB.
val:                The register value.

Imagine you have a field that starts at position 1 and its length
is 4 bits.  According to the third line of the code snippet the
shifting right would become "val >> -2", or "val >> 0xfff...fe"
to be precise.  That will result in a "field_val" of 0.

The correct extraction should be:

    ULONGEST field_val = val >> TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS (type, field);

The rest of the algorithm that masks out the higher bits is OK.

            Simon Marchi  <simon.marchi@efficios.com>

	PR gdb/28103
	* valprint.c (val_print_type_code_flags): Merely shift the VAL
	to the right to get rid of the lower bits.
	(test_print_flags): New.
	(_initialize_valprint): Invoke the "test_print_flags" as a unit-test.
