I think this is a good direction but this patch isn't quite complete.
The issue is that there are still a handful of spots in gdb that loop
over all compunits. But with this change, these spots will skip some
compunits.
Now, arguably some of these spots aren't really needed in the current
setup. For instance, objfile relocation in practice is probably not
needed by the current expanded-symbols users (though it seems a little
less future-proof to assume this).
OTOH some of the spots should still work, e.g., is_addr_in_objfile or
the symbol-searching code (... which should be changed of course, but
currently hasn't been).
