Fix gdb segv when objfile can't be opened

This fixes PR 16577.

This patch changes gdb_bfd_map_section to issue a warning rather than an error
if it is unable to read the object file, and sets the size of the section/frame
that it attempted to read to 0 on error.

The description of gdb_bfd_map_section states that it will try to read or map
the contents of the section SECT, and if successful, the section data is
returned and *SIZE is set to the size of the section data.  This function was
throwing an error and leaving *SIZE as-is.  Setting the section size to 0
indicates to dwarf2_build_frame_info that there is no data to read, otherwise
it will try to read from an invalid frame pointer.

Changing the error to a warning allows this to be handled gracefully.
Additionally, the error was clobbering the breakpoint output indicating the
current frame (function name, arguments, source file, and line number).  E.g.

Thread 3 "foo" hit Breakpoint 1, BFD: reopening /tmp/jna-1013829440/jna2973250704389291330.tmp: No such file or directory
BFD: reopening /tmp/jna-1013829440/jna2973250704389291330.tmp: No such file or directory
(gdb)

While the "BFD: reopening ..." messages will still appear interspersed in the
breakpoint output, the current frame info is now displayed:

Thread 3 "foo" hit Breakpoint 1, BFD: reopening /tmp/jna-1013829440/jna1875755897659885075.tmp: No such file or directory
BFD: reopening /tmp/jna-1013829440/jna1875755897659885075.tmp: No such file or directory
warning: Can't read data for section '.eh_frame' in file '/tmp/jna-1013829440/jna1875755897659885075.tmp'
