libctf, link: add lazy linking: clean up input members: err/warn cleanup
This rather large and intertwined pile of changes does three things:
First, it transitions from dprintf to ctf_err_warn for things the user might
care about: this one file is the major impetus for the ctf_err_warn
infrastructure, because things like file names are crucial in linker
error messages, and errno values are utterly incapable of
communicating them
Second, it stabilizes the ctf_link APIs: you can now call
ctf_link_add_ctf without a CTF argument (only a NAME), to lazily
ctf_open the file with the given NAME when needed, and close it as soon
as possible, to save memory. This is not an API change because a null
CTF argument was prohibited before now.
Since getting CTF directly from files uses ctf_open, passing in only a
NAME requires use of libctf, not libctf-nobfd. The linker's behaviour
is unchanged, as it still passes in a ctf_archive_t as before.
This also let us fix a leak: we were opening ctf_archives and their
containing ctf_files, then only closing the files and leaving the
archives open.
Third, this commit restructures the ctf_link_in_member argument used by
the CTF linking machinery and adjusts its users accordingly.
We drop two members:
- arcname, which is difficult to construct and then only used in error
messages (that were only dprintf()ed, so never seen!)
- share_mode, since we store the flags passed to ctf_link (including the
share mode) in a new ctf_file_t.ctf_link_flags to help dedup get hold
of it
We rename others whose existing names were fairly dreadful:
- done_main_member -> done_parent, using consistent terminology for .ctf
as the parent of all archive members
- main_input_fp -> in_fp_parent, likewise
- file_name -> in_file_name, likewise
We add one new member, cu_mapped.
Finally, we move the various frees of things like mapping table data to
the top-level ctf_link, since deduplicating links will want to do that
too.

(ctf_link_add_ctf): ... here. Return error if lazy loading of
CTF is not possible. Change to just call...
(ctf_link_add): ... this new function.

<done_parent>: ... this.
<main_input_fp>: Rename to...
<in_fp_parent>: ... this.
<cu_mapped>: New.
(ctf_link_one_type): Adjuwt accordingly. Transition to
ctf_err_warn, removing a TODO.

Report in the debug stream if a cu-mapped link prevents addition
of a conflicting variable.
(ctf_link_one_input_archive_member): Adjust.
(ctf_link_lazy_open): New, open a CTF archive for linking when
needed.
(ctf_link_close_one_input_archive): New, close it again.
(ctf_link_one_input_archive): Adjust for lazy opening, member
renames, and ctf_err_warn transition. Move the
empty_link_type_mapping call to...
