[PATCH][gdb/symtab] Don't create duplicate psymtab for forward-imported CU

Hi,

Consider the executable generated for test-case gdb.dwarf2/imported-unit.exp.

When loading the executable using various tracing:
...
$ gdb \
  outputs/gdb.dwarf2/imported-unit/imported-unit \
  -batch \
  -iex "set verbose on" \
  -iex "set debug symtab-create 1"
  ...
Created psymtab 0x213f380 for module <artificial>@0xc7.
Created psymtab 0x20e7b00 for module imported_unit.c.
Created psymtab 0x215da20 for module imported_unit.c.
Created psymtab 0x2133630 for module elf-init.c.
Created psymtab 0x215b910 for module ../sysdeps/x86_64/crtn.S.
...
we notice that there are two psymtabs generated for imported_unit.c.

This is due to the following: in dwarf2_build_psymtabs_hard we loop over CUs
and generate partial symtabs for those, and if we encounter an import of
another CU, we also generate a partial symtab for that one, unless already
created.

This works well with backward import references:
- the imported CU is read
- then the importing CU is read
- the import is encountered, but the imported CU is already read, so
  we're done.

But with forward import references, we have instead:
- the importing CU is read
- the import is encountered, and the imported CU is read
- the imported CU is read once more

Fix this by skipping already created psymtabs in the loop in
dwarf2_build_psymtabs_hard.

Build in combination with the tentative fix for PR25718 - "[ada] symbol in
imported unit not found"
( https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-March/167152.html ) to
prevent this regression:
...
FAIL: gdb.ada/char_enum.exp: ptype pck.Global_Enum_Type
...

Tested on x86_64-linux, with native and target board
unix/-flto/-O0/-flto-partition=none/-ffat-lto-objects.

This causes this regression with the target board:
...
FAIL: gdb.ada/dgopt.exp: list x.adb:16, 16
...
which I consider a seperate PR, filed as PR25801 - "Filename of shared psymtab
is ignored".

OK for trunk?

Thanks,
- Tom
