Simon Marchi 74daa597e7 gdb: add all_objfiles_removed observer
The new_objfile observer is currently used to indicate both when a new
objfile is added to program space (when passed non-nullptr) and when all
objfiles of a program space were just removed (when passed nullptr).
I think this is confusing (and Andrew apparently thinks so too [1]).
Add a new "all_objfiles_removed" observer to remove the second role from
"new_objfile".

Some existing users of new_objfile do nothing if the passed objfile is
nullptr.  For them, we can simply drop the nullptr check.  For others,
add a new all_objfiles_removed callback, and refactor things a bit to
keep the existing behavior as much as possible.

Some callbacks relied on current_program_space, and following
the refactoring now use either objfile->pspace or the pspace passed to
all_objfiles_removed.  I think this should be relatively safe, and in
general a step in the right direction.

On the notify side, I found only one call site to change from
new_objfile to all_objfiles_removed, in clear_symtab_users.  It is not
entirely clear to me that this is entirely correct.  clear_symtab_users
appears to be called in spots that don't remove all objfiles
(functions finish_new_objfile, remove_symbol_file_command, reread_symbols,
do_module_cleanups).  But I think that this patch at least makes the
current code clearer.
