This is version 2 of my series to improve psymtabs a bit. In
particular this moves most psymtab allocation to a special obstack, to
make it simpler to reason about. Mostly this is preparation for
(hopeful) future patches to make psymtabs independent of the objfile.
Version 1 was here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-05/msg00276.html
... with reviews mostly happening in July.
This addresses all the review comments. I've also dropped the patch
that removed the psymtab->symtab backlink and updated various comments
accordingly. That patch caused a small performance regression, and in
the absence of supporting comments it seemed simpler to remove it. I
may make another push for it later, when it's more needed.
Regression tested on the buildbot.
