[gdb/testsuite] Add target board debug-types

This patch adds a target board debug-types that switches on
-fdebug-types-section by default.

This -fdebug-types-section option is a gcc option that enables the generation
of a .debug_types section, which is only effective for DWARF version 4.

There are two other boards that enable this: dwarf4-gdb-index and fisson, but
while those test some meaningful combination of options, this board is
intended to test only -fdebug-types-section.

Current results with gcc 7.5.0 are:
...
 === gdb Summary ===

 # of expected passes            75832
 # of unexpected failures        2841
 # of expected failures          130
 # of known failures             75
 # of unresolved testcases       22
 # of untested testcases         37
 # of unsupported tests          83
...

Related known issues:

- PR gdb/25875 - "segv in ada_discrete_type_low_bound"
- PR gdb/14148 - "-fdebug-types-section regresses static scope of types"

Tested on x86_64-linux.
