* coffread.c, mipsread.c, xcoffread.c, coffread.c, dbxread.c,
elfread.c (coff_symfile_finish): Add function, prototype, and add to the xxxx_sym_fns struct for each file type. Also reformat the xxxx_sym_fns vector to a standard format and add comments. * coffread.c, mipsread.c, xcoffread.c, coffread.c, dbxread.c, elfread.c (xxx_symfile_new_init, xxx_symfile_init, xxx_symfile_read): Pass pointer to struct objfile rather than pointer to sym_fns. Change references inside each function accordingly. Allocate any symbol file specific info in the per-objfile memory region. * dbxread.c (free_and_init_header_files): Break function into free_header_files(), called from dbx_symfile_finish(), and init_header_files(), called from dbx_new_init(). * dbxread.c (dbx_new_init): Move deallocation things to new dbx_symfile_finish function. * elfread.c (elf_new_init): Call buildsym_new_init(). * objfiles.c (free_objfile): Call the appropriate symfile_finish() routine for the objfile before deallocating other stuff. * sparc-tdep.c (get_longjmp_target): Cast target_read_memory arg. * symfile.h: Move struct sym_fns to before struct objfile def. Add sym_finish function pointer and change prototypes of other function pointers to reflect passing struct objfile pointer rather than struct sym_fns pointer. * symfile.c: Remove now obsolete symtab_fns pointer. * symfile.c (symfile_init): Renamed to find_sym_fns, and now only locates the correct sym_fns struct for the given objfile. * symfile.c (syms_from_objfile, symbol_file_add): Restructured for better support of mapped symbol tables. * symfile.c (symbol_file_command): Remove obsolete code using symfile_fns. * symfile.h: Remove duplicate declarations for symfile_objfile, entry_point, and object_files. * target.c (target_info): Compare symfile_objfile to NULL. * xcoffread.c (aixcoff_new_init): Move deallocation stuff to aixcoff_symfile_finish().
