    gdb: reset/recompute objfile section offsets in reread_symbols



Simon mentions:

    I don't really like the approach taken by reread_symbols, trying to
    reset everything manually on the objfile object, instead of, for
    example, creating a new one from scratch.  But I don't know enough yet
    to propose a better solution.

Ages ago, Jan had a patch to remove reread_symbols in favor of
doing exactly this.

This should be reimplemented.  The current approach is just bad.
