    Avoid infinite recursion in get_msymbol_address
    
    Sometimes, get_msymbol_address can cause infinite recursion, leading
    to a crash.  This was reported previously here:
    
    https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2019-November/162154.html
    
    A user on irc reported this as well, and with his help and the help of
    a friend of his, we found that the problem occurred because, when
    reloading a separate debug objfile, the objfile would lose the
    OBJF_MAINLINE flag.  This would cause some symbols from this separate
    debug objfile to be marked "maybe_copied" -- but then
    get_msymbol_address could find the same symbol and fail as reported.
    
    This patch fixes the bug by preserving OBJF_MAINLINE.
    
    No test case, unfortunately, because I could not successfully make
    one.
