    Fix warning-avoidance initialization in xcoffread.c
    
    With the registry rewrite series, on Fedora 34, I started seeing this
    error in xcoffread.c:
    
    ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/xcoffread.c: In function ‘void read_xcoff_symtab(objfile*, legacy_psymtab*)’:
    ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/xcoffread.c:948:25: error: ‘main_aux’ is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]
      948 |   union internal_auxent fcn_aux_saved = main_aux;
          |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/xcoffread.c:933:25: note: ‘main_aux’ declared here
      933 |   union internal_auxent main_aux;
          |                         ^~~~~~~~
    
    I don't know why this error started suddenly... that seems weird,
    because it's not obviously related to the changes I made.
    
    Looking into it, it seems this line was intended to avoid a similar
    warning -- but since 'main_aux' is uninitialized at the point where it
    is used, this fix was incomplete.
    
    This patch avoids the warning by initializing using "{}".  I'm
    checking this in.
