[PATCH 4/6] .gdb_index prod perf regression: find before insert in unordered_map

[Pedro Alves <palves at redhat dot com>]

"perf" shows the unordered_map::emplace call in write_hash_table a bit
high up on profiles.  Fix this using the find + insert idiom instead
of going straight to insert.

I tried doing the same to the other unordered_maps::emplace calls in
the file, but saw no performance improvement, so left them be.

With a '-g3 -O2' build of gdb, and:

  $ cat save-index.cmd
  set $i = 0
  while $i < 100
    save gdb-index .
    set $i = $i + 1
  end
  $ time ./gdb -data-directory=data-directory -nx --batch -q -x save-index.cmd  ./gdb.pristine

I get an improvement of ~7%:

  ~7.0s => ~6.5s (average of 5 runs).
