This version incorporates \" ' ' <repeats NN times>\" logic into the python variable display.  It has improved
communication with the cbl-gdb VSIX Visual Studio Code extension.

This version of cbl-gdb still operates with the currently available 3.1 versions of GnuCOBOL, although it's
still in Release Candidate territory.

cobcd.py now accepts the cob_field f_ name in VARIABLE_STRING.  It can also tolerate ANY NUMERIC and ANY LENGTH
variables, although it doesn't attempt to display them.

This is the Rubicon.  After this release, I am going to switch over to using Simons cob_get... and cob_put... routines,
which accept a pointer to the f_ cob_field variable and accept or produce text strings for the specified variable.

Change cobcd-st 'ReadFromFile() doesn't know how to...' error handling to 'print message and continue'

It incorporates improvements to the logic of COBCD-ST, including more robust handling of
REDEFINES and some 66/RENAMES capability.

COBCD-ST is significantly faster because of the elimination of a couple of O(N-squared)
constructions in the code.  For a program with 40,000 COBOL variables it is thirty times
faster.

COBCD-SFIX is faster by a factor of about six.

The Python cobcd.py has been altered to pick up the cross-reference VARIABLE_STRING much
faster than before.  A test program with 40,000 COBOL variables used to take 2.5 minutes to
read over the string, one character at a time.  Use of a different GDB command for looking
at string data got that down to 1.5 seconds.
