Add support for the readnever concept

The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging
information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or
objfile-specific.  The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:

  - The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
    least initially;
  - The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
    DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
    other debug format.
  - Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?

One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach.  Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.

This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF.  It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be
activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the
'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands.

It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly
fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are
passed.

Tested on the BuildBot.
