Well, since I made bfd_archive_filename a publicly available interface
when I added the function, I guess I can't argue against this. If
bfd_archive_filename was a private function (which possibly it should
be), then it would be more reasonable to argue that all internal uses
will provide a non-NULL bfd argument, and a NULL bfd is a sign of an
internal error.
