[PATCH 1/2] Fix varobj updation after symbol removal

[Taimoor Mirza <tmirza@codesourcery.com>]

This problem was observed while loading and unloading symbols using 
add-symbol-file and remove-symbol-file. When remove-symbol-file 
command is invoked, it calls clear_symtab_users that calls varobj_invalidate 
to invalidate variable objects. This function invalidates the varobjs 
that are tied to locals and re-create the ones that are defined on 
globals. During this re-creation of globals, variable objects are 
re-evaluated that can result in new value. But this change is not recorded
and because of this, -var-update for such modified variable objects
gives empty change list.

Proposed Fix:
=============
GDB has mechanism of marking varobj's updated if they are set via 
varobj_set_value operation. This allows any next -var-update to report 
this change. Same approach should be used during varobj invalidation.
If value of newly created varobj is different from previous one, mark it 
updated so that -var-update can get this change.

Variable object invalidation code is cleaned up to avoid using pointers 
whose target has been already freed.

Fix Testing:
===========
This fix has been regression tested on both simulator and real boards.

	gdb/
	* varobj.h (varobj_is_valid_p, varobj_set_invalid): New
	prototypes.
	* varobj.c (varobj_is_valid_p, varobj_set_invalid): New functions.
	(varobj_invalidate_iter): Mark re-created global object updated
	if its value is different from previous value.
	* objfiles.c (invalidate_objfile_varobj_type_iter): New function.
	(free_objfile): Call it.
