gdb: remove assertion in psymbol_functions::expand_symtabs_matching
psymtab_to_symtab is documented as possibly returning nullptr, if the
primary symtab of the partial symtab has no symbols. However,
psymbol_functions::expand_symtabs_matching asserts that the result of
psymtab_to_symtab as non-nullptr.
I caught this assert by trying the CTF symbol reader on a library I
built with -gctf:
$ ./gdb --data-directory=data-directory /tmp/babeltrace-ctf/src/lib/.libs/libbabeltrace2.so.0.0.0
...
Reading symbols from /tmp/babeltrace-ctf/src/lib/.libs/libbabeltrace2.so.0.0.0...

/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/psymtab.c:1142: internal-error: expand_symtabs_matching: Assertion `symtab != nullptr' failed.
The "symtab" in question is:
$ readelf --ctf=.ctf /tmp/babeltrace-ctf/src/lib/.libs/libbabeltrace2.so.0.0.0
...

It contains a single type, and it is skipped by ctf_add_type_cb, because
an identical type was already seen earlier in this objfile. As a
result, no compunit_symtab is created.
Change psymbol_functions::expand_symtabs_matching to expect that
psymtab_to_symtab can return nullptr.
Another possibility would be to make the CTF symbol reader always create
a compunit_symtab, even if there are no symbols in it (like the DWARF
parser does), but so far I don't see any advantage in doing so.
