Is this cleanup-only patch? I am a bit concerned that it appears
to increase code size, and all it does it changes explicit iteration
to callback iteration. Can we just make varobj.c expose vector of
varobjs?

IIUC, the varobj_invalidate problem can be fixed with a small patch below.
Am I missing something? If no, such a patch is not in any way made easier
by callback iteration.
