MySQL was already in doc/users.md, with the binlog writeset detail. gdb was not.

It is one of the bigger users: gdb vendors a copy at gdbsupport/unordered_dense/ and wraps it as gdb::unordered_map and gdb::unordered_set in gdbsupport/unordered_map.h and unordered_set.h, so every debugger built on gdb carries it. AMD's ROCgdb and NVIDIA's cuda-gdb both ship their own copy.

Confirmed the way the file says its entries are confirmed - by reading the source. gdbsupport/unordered_map.h has #include "unordered_dense/unordered_dense.h" and names ankerl::unordered_dense::map, ankerl::unordered_dense::hash and bucket_type::standard directly.

Versions in circulation, read from the vendored headers: 4.9.2 in MIPS/binutils-gdb, 4.8.0 in ROCm/ROCgdb, 4.4.0 in NVIDIA/cuda-gdb.

Also bumped the "last refreshed" date in the header, since that is what the file promises.

One note for later: gdb names bucket_type::standard explicitly, so its path to 5.0 is exactly the sed in section 1 of doc/upgrading-to-5.md.
