libctf, include, binutils, gdb, ld: rename ctf_file_t to ctf_dict_t

The naming of the ctf_file_t type in libctf is a historical curiosity.
Back in the Solaris days, CTF dictionaries were originally generated as
a separate file and then (sometimes) merged into objects: hence the
datatype was named ctf_file_t, and known as a "CTF file".  Nowadays, raw
CTF is essentially never written to a file on its own, and the datatype
changed name to a "CTF dictionary" years ago.  So the term "CTF file"
refers to something that is never a file!  This is at best confusing.

The type has also historically been known as a 'CTF container", which is
even more confusing now that we have CTF archives which are *also* a
sort of container (they contain CTF dictionaries), but which are never
referred to as containers in the source code.

So fix this by completing the renaming, renaming ctf_file_t to
ctf_dict_t throughout, and renaming those few functions that refer to
CTF files by name (keeping compatibility aliases) to refer to dicts
instead.  Old users who still refer to ctf_file_t will see (harmless)
pointer-compatibility warnings at compile time, but the ABI is unchanged
(since C doesn't mangle names, and ctf_file_t was always an opaque type)
and things will still compile fine as long as -Werror is not specified.
All references to CTF containers and CTF files in the source code are
fixed to refer to CTF dicts instead.

Further (smaller) renamings of annoyingly-named functions to come, as
part of the process of souping up queries across whole archives at once
(needed for the function info and data object sections).
