This is what it looks like to remove the target_ops method. It feels
a little like excising a potentially useful feature, so I'm not going
to commit without review, although there is no sign that we'll ever
need it any time soon.  But I added a comment explaining what we used
to do, to give us a clue later on, if we encounter a target where
we might need something of this kind.

The patch is currently only tested on x86_64-linux, with standard
ELF/DWARF, so no real for the dbxread changes, as well as the coffread
ones. I can do a little more testing, for instance with stabs, if
there is agreement on the patch.
