Previously gdb-add-index took a single binary argument to index. It uses
ldd to get its dependencies and index those too. Now it accepts more than
one file, along with a -n option to not attempt to extract dependencies.
This is useful for Android development where there's no single
binary to index. Now you can do gdb-add-index -n out/Debug/lib.unstripped/*
This CL also cleans up the style a bit for consistency.

This allows the script to work for remote debugging cross-compiled
binaries by adding a prefix such as arm-linux-gnueabi- to all of the
binutils commands.

Most linux machines can likely handle a few concurrent indexing jobs
for the shared objects in one binary. This modification uses SIGUSR1 and
subshells to simulate a semaphore with task queue that significantly
increases the speed of execution over a newly built set of binaries.
By default, this script executes 4 parallel indexing tasks, though the
concurrency be controlled by setting the INDEX_TASKS shell variable.
Here are bencharks from my z620, using a component build browser_test
binary as the target:
6 threads browser_threads:
real 0m36.307s
user 0m51.680s
sys 0m13.150s
4 threads browser_threads:
real 0m39.243s
user 0m53.010s
sys 0m12.230s
1 thread browser_threads:
real 1m12.099s
user 0m53.300s
sys 0m13.580s
This was on an SSD. Benefit hit diminishing return after 4 threads and
may actually taper off sooner.

Without this, gdb-add-index incorrectly skips DSO dependencies if running from a symlink. $(pwd) returns the path to your directory via the symlink, but ldd returns the "realpath". Using dirname allows you to match a substring of the path returned by ldd.

For linux users who are going to debug chromium, running gdb-add-index
on the binary first will significantly speed up debugger start time.
The originating RPM is gdb-7.4.50.20120603-1.1.x86_64.rpm. The script is
just a bash script version of the instructions in the gdb man page.
BUG=none
TEST=ran it on a statically linked browser_tests locally. verfied .gdb_index section exists
and that gdb does startup faster (from ~20 secs to ~3 seconds)
