libctf: remove static/dynamic name lookup distinction

libctf internally maintains a set of hash tables for type name lookups,
one for each valid C type namespace (struct, union, enum, and everything
else).

Or, rather, it maintains *two* sets of hash tables: one, a ctf_hash *,
is meant for lookups in ctf_(buf)open()ed dicts with fixed content; the
other, a ctf_dynhash *, is meant for lookups in ctf_create()d dicts.

This distinction was somewhat valuable in the far pre-binutils past when
two different hashtable implementations were used (one expanding, the
other fixed-size), but those days are long gone: the hash table
implementations are almost identical, both wrappers around the libiberty
hashtab. The ctf_dynhash has many more capabilities than the ctf_hash
(iteration, deletion, etc etc) and has no downsides other than starting
at a fixed, arbitrary small size.

That limitation is easy to lift (via a new ctf_dynhash_create_sized()),
following which we can throw away nearly all the ctf_hash
implementation, and all the code to choose between readable and writable
hashtabs; the few convenience functions that are still useful (for
insertion of name -> type mappings) can also be generalized a bit so
that the extra string verification they do is potentially available to
other string lookups as well.

(libctf still has two hashtable implementations, ctf_dynhash, above,
and ctf_dynset, which is a key-only hashtab that can avoid a great many
malloc()s, used for high-volume applications in the deduplicator.)
