[binutils-gdb] Remove find_old_style_renaming_symbol


*** TEST RESULTS FOR COMMIT c0e70c624fc7d89f5cf281350692de89a063786f ***

Author: Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
Branch: master
Commit: c0e70c624fc7d89f5cf281350692de89a063786f

Remove find_old_style_renaming_symbol

We found a case where a "bt" was very slow with Ada code.  Profiling
with callgrind showed this to be primarily due to calls to
find_old_style_renaming_symbol.  Because new-style renaming symbols
were implemented in 2007, it seems safe enough to remove this old
code.

A "-batch -ex bt" test on a large Ada program improves from:

    13.23user 0.57system 0:13.82elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 571408maxresident)k

to

    4.25user 0.48system 0:04.74elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 559844maxresident)k

with this patch.

Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.  Joel reviewed this internally; and as it
is Ada-specific, I am checking it in.
