gdb: rename gdbarch_tdep struct to fix g++ 4.8 build
After the commit: commit 08106042 Date: Thu May 19 13:20:17 2022 +0100 gdb: move the type cast into gdbarch_tdep GDB would no longer build using g++ 4.8. The issue appears to be some confusion caused by GDB having 'struct gdbarch_tdep', but also a templated function called 'gdbarch_tdep'. Prior to the above commit the gdbarch_tdep function was not templated, and this compiled just fine. Note that the above commit compiles just fine with later versions of g++, so this issue was clearly fixed at some point, though I've not tried to track down exactly when. In this commit I propose to fix the g++ 4.8 build problem by renaming 'struct gdbarch_tdep' to 'struct gdbarch_tdep_base'. This rename better represents that the struct is only ever used as a base class, and removes the overloading of the name, which allows GDB to build with g++ 4.8. I've also updated the comment on 'struct gdbarch_tdep_base' to fix a typo, and the comment on the 'gdbarch_tdep' function, to mention that in maintainer mode a run-time type check is performed.
