.gdb_index prod perf regression: find before insert in unordered_map
"perf" shows the unordered_map::emplace call in write_hash_table a bit
high up on profiles. Fix this using the find + insert idiom instead
of going straight to insert.
I tried doing the same to the other unordered_maps::emplace calls in
the file, but saw no performance improvement, so left them be.
With a '-g3 -O2' build of gdb, and:
$ cat save-index.cmd
set $i = 0
while $i < 100
save gdb-index .
set $i = $i + 1
end
$ time ./gdb -data-directory=data-directory -nx --batch -q -x save-index.cmd ./gdb.pristine
I get an improvement of ~7%:
~7.0s => ~6.5s (average of 5 runs).

* dwarf2read.c (write_hash_table): Check if key already exists
before emplacing.
