Extend recognized types of SDT probe's arguments

This commit is actually an update to make the parser in
gdb/stap-probe.c be aware of all the possible prefixes that a probe
argument can have.  According to the section "Argument Format" in:

  <https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/UserSpaceProbeImplementation>

The bitness of the arguments can be 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits, signed or
unsigned.  Currently GDB recognizes only 32 and 64-bit arguments.
This commit extends this.  It also provides a testcase, only for
x86_64 systems.

* stap-probe.c (enum stap_arg_bitness): New enums to represent 8
and 16-bit signed and unsigned arguments.  Update comment.
(stap_parse_probe_arguments): Extend code to handle such
arguments.  Use warning instead of complaint to notify about
unrecognized bitness.
