[symbols] Do we need language_specific?

Right now, C++ and Java use cplus_specific, which contains only the
demangled name.  Objc uses objc_specific, which contains only the demangled
name.  And one of the members is always present anyway since the union is
directly in general_symbol_info.

Does anyone see a reason to hold on to this - is ObjC going to use more of
it, for instance?  I don't remember this being the case but I didn't look at
the patches closely.  I'd like to just kill language_specific and replace it
with demangled_name.
