Dodji Seketeli c32b8ec9f3 Bug 24690 - Support comparing non-reachable types of a binary
This patch adds the ability to compare all types of a binary,
including those types that are not reachable from global functions and
variables.

This implies that for types that are not reachable from public
interfaces, we want compare them against each others directly, without
first comparing global functions/variables and walking the graph of
reachable types from there.

The patch adds the --non-reachable-types option to abidiff and
abipkgdiff, instructing them to also compare types that are
non-reachable from global variables and functions.

Using that option, for instance, here is what the summary of
abipkgdiff now looks like, in the test case attached added by this
patch:

================ changes of 'libflatpak.so.0.10204.0'===============
  Functions changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed (16 filtered out), 16 Added functions
  Variables changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added variable
  Unreachable types summary: 3 removed (2 filtered out), 1 changed (15 filtered out), 3 added (1 filtered out) types

You can see that there is a new summary line which starts with the
string: "Unreachable types summary:"

Then in the body of the report, those unreachable types are reported
separately.

In practise, we want to limit the unreachable types to compare
somehow, otherwise we'll end up comparing all the types of the types
of the binary and that can be huge.  So we want to limit the
unreachable type analysis to types that are defined in public headers.

So, for abipkgdiff, one can limit the analysis of non-reachable types
to those defined in public headers by supplying the --devel{1,2}
options that specifies the development packages that contain said
public headers.  For abidiff however, you'll want to use the
--headers-dir{1,2} options for that.

The patch comes with appropriate regression tests.
