Have parser reset the innermost block tracker

I ran across a comment in symfile.c today:

  /* Clear globals which might have pointed into a removed objfile.
     FIXME: It's not clear which of these are supposed to persist
     between expressions and which ought to be reset each time.  */

It seems to me that this can be clarified: the parser entry points
ought to reset the innermost block tracker (and the expression context
block), and these should not be considered valid for code to use at
arbitrary times -- only immediately after an expression has been
parsed.

This patch implements this idea.  This could be further improved by
removing the parser globals and changing the parser functions to
return this information, but I have not done this.

Tested by the buildbot.
