Introduce objfile::intern

This introduces a string cache on the per-BFD object, replacing the
macro and filename caches.  Both of these caches just store strings,
so this consolidation by itself saves a little memory (about the size
of a bcache per objfile).

Then this patch switches some allocations on the objfile obstack to
use this bcache instead.  This saves more space; and turns out to be a
bit faster as well.

Here are the before and after "maint time" + "maint space" results of
"file ./gdb":

    Command execution time: 4.664021 (cpu), 4.728518 (wall)
    Space used: 39190528 (+29212672 for this command)

    Command execution time: 4.216209 (cpu), 4.107023 (wall)
    Space used: 36667392 (+26689536 for this command)

The main interface to the string cache is a new pair of overloaded
methods, objfile::intern.
