gdb/corelow.c: do not try to reopen a file if open failed once

In the current implementation, core_target::build_file_mappings will try
to locate and open files which were mapped in the process for which the
core dump was produced.  If the file cannot be found or cannot be
opened, GDB will re-try to open it once for each time it was mapped in
the process's address space.

This patch makes it so GDB recognizes that it has already failed to open
a given file once and does not re-try the process for each mapping.
