Currently, gdb stores the number of lines and an array of file offsets
for the start of each line in struct symtab. This patch moves this
information to the source cache. This has two benefits.
First, it allows gdb to read a source file less frequently.
Currently, a source file may be read multiple times: once when
computing the file offsets, once when highlighting, and then pieces
may be read again while printing source lines. With this change, the
file is read once for its source text and file offsets; and then
perhaps read again if it is evicted from the cache.
Second, if multiple symtabs cover the same source file, then this will
share the file offsets between them. I'm not sure whether this
happens in practice.
