minsyms.h incorrectly claims that a couple of functions call
prim_record_minimal_symbol_full with COPY_NAME=0 -- but actually they
pass 1. Passing 1 is the correct behavior, so this patch fixes the
documentation.
I'm checking this in as obvious.

* minsyms.h (prim_record_minimal_symbol)
(prim_record_minimal_symbol_and_info): Update comments.
This removes the runtime offsets from minsyms. Instead, these offsets
will now be applied whenever the minsym's address is computed.
This patch redefines MSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS to actually use the offsets
from the given objfile. Then, it updates all the symbol readers,
changing them so that they do not add in the section offset when
creating the symbol.
This change also lets us remove relocation of minsyms from
objfile_relocate1 and also msymbols_sort.

This introduces minimal_symbol_upper_bound and changes various bits of
code to use it. Since this function is intimately tied to the
implementation of minimal symbol tables, I believe it belongs in
minsyms.c.
The new function is extracted from find_pc_partial_function_gnu_ifunc.
This isn't a "clean" move because the old function interleaved the
caching and the computation; but this doesn't make sense for the new
code.

* blockframe.c (find_pc_partial_function_gnu_ifunc): Use
bound minimal symbols. Move code that knows about minsym
table layout...
* minsyms.c (minimal_symbol_upper_bound): ... here. New
function.
* minsyms.h (minimal_symbol_upper_bound): Declare.
* objc-lang.c (find_objc_msgsend): Use bound minimal symbols,
minimal_symbol_upper_bound.
This is another patch in my ongoing series to "split" objfile to share
more read-only data across inferiors. See
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ObjfileSplitting
When symbols are finally shared, there will be no back-link from the
symbol to its containing objfile, because there may be more than one
such objfile. So, all such back-links must be removed.
One hidden back-link is the msymbol_objfile function. Since
(eventually) a symbol may appear in more than one objfile, trying to
look up the objfile given just a symbol cannot work.
This patch removes msymbol_objfile in favor of using a bound minimal
symbol. It introduces a new function to make this conversion simpler
in some spots.
The bonus of this patch is that using msymbol_objfile is slower than
simply looking up the owning objfile in the first place.

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
