A plan I had a while ago was to write the DWARF index in a worker
thread. This is why objfile::partial_symtabs is a shared_ptr.
However, it turned out that doing this required keeping the objfile
alive as well. Now that objfiles are managed using shared_ptr,
there's no need for partial_symtabs to be one as well, so this patch
reverts that change.
