Fix crash in machoread.c
"./gdb ./gdb" was crashing for me on macOS. Investigating showed that macho_symfile_read was crashing because "symbol_table" was being freed too soon. This was introduced by my earlier patch to change macho_symfile_read to use a std::vector. Tested on macOS 10.13.5 using "./gdb ./gdb". This should un-break various already existing tests (testsuite/gdb.gdb at least), so no new test case. I'm checking this in as obvious. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-06-27 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * machoread.c (macho_symfile_read): Define "symbol_table" earlier.
