[gdb/symtab] Fix symbol loading performance regression

Browse Source 
[ Backport of master commit e99f9db0f5. ]

The commit "[gdb/symtab] Fix language of duplicate static minimal symbol"
introduces a performance regression, when loading a cc1 executable build with
-O0 -g and gcc 7.4.0.  The performance regression, measured in 'real' time is
about 175%.

The slower execution comes from the fact that the fix in symbol_set_names
makes the call to symbol_find_demangled_name unconditional.

Fix this by reverting the commit, and redoing the fix as follows.

Recapturing the original problem, the first time symbol_set_names is called
with gsymbol.language == lang_auto and linkage_name == "_ZL3foov", the name is
not present in the per_bfd->demangled_names_hash hash table, so
symbol_find_demangled_name is called to demangle the name, after which the
mangled/demangled pair is added to the hashtable.  The call to
symbol_find_demangled_name also sets gsymbol.language to lang_cplus.
The second time symbol_set_names is called with gsymbol.language == lang_auto
and linkage_name == "_ZL3foov", the name is present in the hash table, so the
demangled name from the hash table is used.  However, the language of the
symbol remains lang_auto.

Fix this by adding a field language in struct demangled_name_entry, and using
the field in symbol_set_names to set the language of gsymbol, if necessary.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
