Silence -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning in minsyms.c:lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section 

Compiling with GCC 8.1 shows this warning:

  gdb/minsyms.c: In function 'bound_minimal_symbol lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section(CORE_ADDR, obj_section*, lookup_msym_prefer)':
  gdb/minsyms.c:825:40: warning: 'want_type' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
	   && MSYMBOL_TYPE (&msymbol[hi]) != want_type

That warning is a false positive, because the switch that converts
enum lookup_msym_prefer values to enum enum minimal_symbol_type values
has a case for every lookup_msym_prefer enumerator:

  switch (prefer)
   {
    case lookup_msym_prefer::TEXT:
      want_type = mst_text;
      break;
    case lookup_msym_prefer::TRAMPOLINE:
      want_type = mst_solib_trampoline;
      break;
    case lookup_msym_prefer::GNU_IFUNC:
      want_type = mst_text_gnu_ifunc;
      break;
    }

The problem is that GCC assumes that enum variables may hold values
other than the named enumerators (like e.g., "lookup_msym_prefer
prefer = (lookup_msym_prefer) 10;").

Rework the code a bit, adding a gdb_assert to make it explicit to the
compiler that want_type is initialized in all normal-return paths.
