[PR tui/14880] Fetch values before comparing their contents.
PR tui/14880 shows a reproducer that triggers this assertion:
int
value_available_contents_eq (const struct value *val1, int offset1,
const struct value *val2, int offset2,
int length)
{
int idx1 = 0, idx2 = 0;
/* This routine is used by printing routines, where we should
already have read the value. Note that we only know whether a
value chunk is available if we've tried to read it. */
gdb_assert (!val1->lazy && !val2->lazy);

The fix is to fetch the value before comparing the contents. The
comment additions to value.h explain why it can't be
value_available_contents_eq itself that fetches the contents.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.
