Accelerate lookup_symbol_aux_objfile 85x

During debugging I get 10-30 seconds for a response to simple commands like:
	(gdb) print vectorvar.size()
With this patch the performance gets to 1-2 seconds which is somehow
acceptable.  The problem is that dwarf2_gdb_index_functions.lookup_symbol
(quick_symbol_functions::lookup_symbol) may return (and returns) NULL even for
symbols which are present in .gdb_index but which can be found in already
expanded symtab.  But searching in the already expanded symtabs is just too
slow when there are 400000+ expanded symtabs.  There would be needed some
single global hash table for each objfile so that one does not have to iterate
all symtabs.  Which .gdb_index could perfectly serve for, just its
lookup_symbol() would need to return authoritative yes/no answers.

Even after such fix these two simple patches are useful for example for
non-.gdb_index files.

One can reproduce the slugging interactive GDB performance with:
	#include <string>
	using namespace std;
	string var;
	class C {
	public:
	  void m() {}
	};
	int main() {
	  C c;
	  c.m();
	  return 0;
	}

Without DWZ there are X global blocks for X primary symtabs for X CUs of
objfile.  With DWZ there are X+Y global blocks for X+Y primary symtabs for
X+Y CUs where Y are 'DW_TAG_partial_unit's.

For 'DW_TAG_partial_unit's (Ys) their blockvector is usually empty.  But not
always, I have found there typedef symbols, there can IMO be optimized-out
static variables etc.

Neither of the patches should cause any visible behavior change.
