Replace dwarf2_per_cu_data::cu backlink with per-objfile map

The dwarf2_per_cu_data type is going to become objfile-independent,
while the dwarf2_cu type will stay object-dependent.  This patch removes
the backlink from dwarf2_per_cu_data to dwarf2_cu, in favor of the
dwarf2_per_objfile::m_dwarf2_cus map.  It maps dwarf2_per_cu_data
objects to the corresponding dwarf2_cu objects for this objfile.  If a
CU has been read in in the context of this objfile, then an entry will
be present in the map.

The dwarf2_cu objects that are read in are currently kept in a linked
list rooted in the dwarf2_per_bfd.  Except that the dwarf2_cu objects
are not simply linked together, they are interleaved with their
corresponding dwarf2_per_cu_data objects.  So if we have CUs A and B
read in, the dwarf2_per_bfd::read_in_chain will point to a chain like
this (DPCD == dwarf2_per_cu_data, DC == dwarf2_cu):

 DPCD A -> DC A -> DPCD B -> DC B

Obviously, this can't stay as is, since a same CU can be read in for an
objfile but not read in for another objfile sharing the same BFD, and
the dwarf2_per_cu_data::cu link is removed.   This is all replaced by
the dwarf2_per_objfile::m_dwarf2_cus map.
