Tom Tromey a357defdfe Lock bfd_stat and bfd_get_mtime ...

PR gdb/31713 points out some races when using the background DWARF
reader.

This particular patch fixes some of these, namely the ones when using
the sim.  In this case, the 'load' command calls reopen_exec_file,
which calls bfd_stat, which introduces a race.

BFD only locks globals -- concurrent use of a single BFD must be
handled by the application.  To this end, this patch adds locked
wrappers for bfd_stat and bfd_get_mtime.

I couldn't reproduce these data races but the original reporter tested
the patch and confirms that it helps.
