Install and generate docs for gdb-add-index

The "gdb-add-index" script has been resurrected on:

  commit caf26be91a584ef141ac5d3cb31007731af8b8e3
  Author: Samuel Bronson <naesten@gmail.com>
  Date:   Fri Nov 15 16:09:33 2013 -0500

      Resurrect gdb-add-index as a contrib script

However, for some reason (I couldn't find it in the archives), only
the script has been checked-in; the Makefile parts responsible for
installing it in the system were left out.  This commit fixes that, by
also resurrecting the Makefile and documentation bits.

This commit is part of our effort to upstream the local Fedora GDB
changes.  With this commit, we'll only carry a very small
Fedora-specific modification to the script.

+gdb-add-index @var{filename}
+@c man end
+
+@c man begin DESCRIPTION gdb-add-index
+When @value{GDBN} finds a symbol file, it scans the symbols in the
+file in order to construct an internal symbol table.  This lets most
+@value{GDBN} operations work quickly--at the cost of a delay early on.
+For large programs, this delay can be quite lengthy, so @value{GDBN}
+provides a way to build an index, which speeds up startup.
+
+To determine whether a file contains such an index, use the command
+@kbd{readelf -S filename}: the index is stored in a section named
+@code{.gdb_index}.  The index file can only be produced on systems
+which use ELF binaries and DWARF debug information (i.e., sections
+named @code{.debug_*}).
+
+@command{gdb-add-index} uses @value{GDBN} and @command{objdump} found
+in the @env{PATH} environment variable.  If you want to use different
+versions of these programs, you can specify them through the
+@env{GDB} and @env{OBJDUMP} environment variables.
