Partially available/unavailable data in requested range

In gdb.trace/unavailable.exp, an action is defined to collect
struct_b.struct_a.array[2] and struct_b.struct_a.array[100],

struct StructB
{
  int d, ef;
  StructA struct_a;
  int s:1;
  static StructA static_struct_a;
  const char *string;
};

and the other files are not collected.

When GDB examine traceframe collected by the action, "struct_b" is
unavailable completely, which is wrong.

(gdb) p struct_b
$1 = <unavailable>

When GDB reads 'struct_b', it will request to read memory at struct_b's address
of length LEN.  Since struct_b.d is not collected, no 'M' block
includes the first part of the desired range, so tfile_xfer_partial returns
TARGET_XFER_UNAVAILABLE and GDB thinks the whole requested range is unavailable.

In order to fix this problem, in the iteration to 'M' blocks, we record the
lowest address of blocks within the request range.  If it has, the requested
range isn't unavailable completely.  This applies to ctf too.  With this patch
applied, the result looks good and fails in unavailable.exp is fixed.

(gdb) p struct_b
$1 = {d = <unavailable>, ef = <unavailable>, struct_a = {a = <unavailable>, b = <unavailable>, array = {<unavailable>,
<unavailable>, -1431655766, <unavailable> <repeats 97 times>, -1431655766, <unavailable> <repeats 9899 times>}, ptr = <unavailable>, bitfield = <unavailable>}, s = <unavailable>,   static static_struct_a = {a = <unavailable>, b = <unavailable>, array = {<unavailable> <repeats 10000 times>}, ptr = <unavailable>,
bitfield = <unavailable>}, string = <unavailable>}
