Avoid infinite recursion in get_msymbol_address

Sometimes, get_msymbol_address can cause infinite recursion, leading
to a crash.  This was reported previously here:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2019-November/162154.html

A user on irc reported this as well, and with his help and the help of
a friend of his, we found that the problem occurred because, when
reloading a separate debug objfile, the objfile would lose the
OBJF_MAINLINE flag.  This would cause some symbols from this separate
debug objfile to be marked "maybe_copied" -- but then
get_msymbol_address could find the same symbol and fail as reported.

This patch fixes the bug by preserving OBJF_MAINLINE.

No test case, unfortunately, because I could not successfully make
one.
