gdb: Handle TYPE_CODE_COMPLEX in valprint_check_validity.

When printing complex variables with partial optimization (e.g., real
part available but imaginary part optimized out), GDB incorrectly
reported the entire variable as <optimized out> instead of showing
available components.

The issue occurred because valprint_check_validity () only exempted
TYPE_CODE_UNION, TYPE_CODE_STRUCT, and TYPE_CODE_ARRAY from the
optimized-out check, but not TYPE_CODE_COMPLEX.  Complex types, like
structures, can have components with different availability.

A new test gdb.dwarf2/complex-partial-optimized.exp is added to verify
that available components are printed.

(gdb) print z1
$1 = <optimized out>

Now after this change:

(gdb) print z1
$1 = 3 + <optimized out>i
