Share DWARF partial symtabsusers/simark/submit/share-dwarf-partial-symtabs-v2
This changes the DWARF reader to share partial symtabs (or indices if
they are available) across objfiles. This has a few parts.
* If multiple objfiles backed by the same BFD can share partial symtabs
(see below), a single dwarf2_per_bfd is created. It is stored in the
per-bfd `dwarf2_per_bfd_bfd_data_key` registry. Multiple
dwarf2_per_objfile objects will point to the same instance. The
lifetime of these dwarf2_per_bfd objects is naturally handled. When
all the objfiles using the BFD are destroyed, the BFD's refount drops
to 0, which triggers the removal of the corresponding dwarf2_per_bfd
object from the registry and its destruction.
* If multiple objfiles backed by the same BFD can't share partial
symtabs (see below), one dwarf2_per_bfd object is created for each
objfile. Each dwarf2_per_objfile will point to their own instance of
dwarf2_per_bfd. These instances of dwarf2_per_bfd are kept in a
per-objfile registry, meaning that when the objfile gets destroyed,
the dwarf2_per_bfd instance gets destroyed as well.
* objfile::partial_symtabs is changed to be a shared_ptr again. This
lets us stash a second reference in dwarf2_per_bfd; if the DWARF
data is being shared, we can simply copy this value to the new
objfile.
* Two dwarf2_per_objfile objects backed by the same BFD may share a
dwarf2_per_bfd instance if:
* No other symbol reader has found symbols, and
* No BFD section rqeuires relocation
