+ This is used to associate the life time of INCLUDEE with INCLUDER.
+ For example, with Fission, one file can refer to debug info in another
+ file, and internal tables we build for the main file (INCLUDER) may refer
+ to data contained in INCLUDEE. Therefore we want to keep INCLUDEE around
+ at least as long as INCLUDER exists.

+ Note that this is different than gdb_bfd_mark_parent because in our case

+ lifetime tracking is based on the "child". Plus in our case INCLUDEE could
+ have multiple different "parents". */
