This is another patch in my ongoing series to "split" objfile to share
more read-only data across inferiors. See
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ObjfileSplitting
When symbols are finally shared, there will be no back-link from the
symbol to its containing objfile, because there may be more than one
such objfile. So, all such back-links must be removed.
One hidden back-link is the msymbol_objfile function. Since
(eventually) a symbol may appear in more than one objfile, trying to
look up the objfile given just a symbol cannot work.
This patch removes msymbol_objfile in favor of using a bound minimal
symbol. It introduces a new function to make this conversion simpler
in some spots.
The bonus of this patch is that using msymbol_objfile is slower than
simply looking up the owning objfile in the first place.

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
