split out elf_read_minimal_symbols
This is just a simple refactoring in elfread.c to split out the minsym-reading code into its own function. 2014-02-26 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com> * elfread.c (elf_read_minimal_symbols): New function, from elf_symfile_read. (elf_symfile_read): Call it.

- elfstab_build_psymtabs() handles STABS symbols;
- mdebug_build_psymtabs() handles ECOFF debugging information.

- Note that ELF files have a "minimal" symbol table, which looks a lot
- like a COFF symbol table, but has only the minimal information necessary
- for linking. We process this also, and use the information to
- build gdb's minimal symbol table. This gives us some minimal debugging
- capability even for files compiled without -g. */
