Adding gdb-add-index script from Redhat's gdb rpm.
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) Review URL: https://chromiumcodereview.appspot.com/10695024 git-svn-id: svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src@144644 0039d316-1c4b-4281-b951-d872f2087c98
