    Fix type of imported variable for arraydim.exp
   =20
    The test code for gdb.ada/arraydim.exp imports a variable using a
    dummy type.  Then the test tries to print the type of this variable.
    This works ok with GCC, because the import is emitted as a
    declaration; but this fails with gnat-llvm, where a definition is
    emitted.
   =20
    This seems to be a test bug to me.  This patch fixes the problem by
    using the correct type here.
