gdb: ensure the cast in gdbarch_tdep is valid
This commit makes use of gdb::checked_static_cast when casting the generic gdbarch_tdep pointer to a specific sub-class type. This means that, when compiled in developer mode, GDB will validate that the cast is correct. In order to use gdb::checked_static_cast the types involved must have RTTI, which is why the gdbarch_tdep base class now has a virtual destructor. Assuming there are no bugs in GDB where we cast a gdbarch_tdep pointer to the wrong type, then there should be no changes after this commit. If any bugs do exist, then GDB will now assert (in a developer build).
