[PATCH 3/5] remove deleted BFDs from the archive cache


Right now if you bfd_close a member BFD, the pointer to the BFD
remains in the parent archive's cache.  This means that if you try to
re-open that member, BFD will return a stale pointer.

This patch fixes the problem by deleting the entry from the hash.

I could not find a way to look up the member BFD in its parent cache
directly, hence the iteration.

	* archive.c (delete_bfd_from_htab): New function.
	(_bfd_delete_archive_data): Iterate over the parent archive's
	hash table.
