MPIR_PROCDESC is not visible in non-debug builds

[jjhursey]

• Impacts master, v3.0.x, and v3.1.x. The v2.x and v2.0.x series do not have this problem.
• Must be built with --disable-debug.

Consider the following gdb script that we will run against an mpirun launching an MPI application.

shell$ cat gdb-test-cmd.txt 
echo MPIR_debug_state\n
p MPIR_debug_state

echo MPIR_proctable_size\n
p MPIR_proctable_size

echo MPIR_proctable (pointer)\n
p MPIR_proctable

echo MPIR_proctable (type info)\n
ptype MPIR_proctable

echo MPIR_proctable (contents)\n
p *MPIR_proctable@MPIR_proctable_size

On master with a --enable-debug build you can see the expected:

    executable_name = 0x100081b45b0 "/home/jjhursey/./hello_c", 
    pid = 92533
  }, {

    executable_name = 0x100080107f0 "/home/jjhursey/./hello_c", 
    pid = 92534
  }}

On master with a --disable-debug build the MPIR_PROCDESC structure is obscured so we cannot read the MPIR_proctable
