[PATCH v2] Really fix gdb/23010: SYMBOL_LANGUAGE != DICT_LANGUAGE assertion

This patch is another attempt at really fixing the multitude of assertions
being seen where symbols of one language are being added to symbol lists of
another language.

In short, this is happening because read_file_scope was reading DIEs without
having its language set. As a result, the default language,
language_minimal, was being passed to imported DIE trees and, in certain
specific situations, causing the SYMBOL_LANGUAGE != DICT_LANGUAGE assertion
being widely reported.

For a more thorough explanation, see the following mailing list
post:

  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-05/msg00703.html

Since a test reproducer for this has been so elusive, this patch also adds a
wrapper function around add_symbol_to_list which asserts when adding a
symbol of one language to a list containing symbols of a different language.

Differences from v1:
- Removed complaint variation
- Updated comments
- Fixed typo

gdb/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/23010
	* dwarf2read.c (dw2_add_symbol_to_list): New function.
	(fixup_go_packaging, new_symbol): Use dw2_add_symbol_to_list
	instead of add_symbol_to_list.
	(read_file_scope): Call prepare_one_comp_unit before reading
	any other DIEs.
