[PATCH 1/3] gdb/varobj: Do not invalidate locals in varobj_invalidate_iter

[Lancelot SIX via Gdb-patches <gdb-patches@sourceware.org>]

The varobj_invalidate_iter function has logic to invalidate any local
varobj it can find.  However since bc20e562ec0 "gdb/varobj: Fix use
after free in varobj" all varobj containing references to an objfile are
cleared when the objfile goes out of scope.  This means that at this
point any local varobj seen by varobj_invalidate_iter either has
already been invalidated by varobj_invalidate_if_uses_objfile or only
contains valid references and there is no reason to invalidate it.

This patch proposes to remove this un-necessary invalidation and adds a
testcase which exercises a scenario where a local varobj can legitimately
survive a call to varobj_invalidate_iter.

At this point the varobj_invalidate and varobj_invalidate seem misnamed
since they deal with re-creating invalid objects and do not do
invalidation, but this will be fixed in a following patch.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
