Manage objfiles with shared_ptr

This changes objfiles to be managed using a shared_ptr.  shared_ptr is
chosen because it enables the use of objfiles in background threads.

The simplest way to do this was to introduce a new iterator that will
return the underlying objfile, rather than a shared_ptr.  (I also
tried changing the rest of gdb to use shared_ptr, but this was quite
large; and to using intrusive reference counting, but this also was
tricky.)
