gdb: some global_block improvements
Some refactors around struct global_block, all in one patch because they
all tie in together and are relatively trivial.
- Make block::global_block() and blockvector::global_block() return
`global_block *`, instead of `block *`. There is no cost in doing
so, and it's a bit more precise. Callers of these methods that need
a `global_block *` won't need to cast themselves.
- Add some block::as_global_block methods, as a way to get a
`global_block *` from a `block *` when you know it's a global block.
This is basically a static cast with an assert.
- Move set_compunit_symtab to global_block, since it requires the
block to be a global block anyway. Rename to just `set_compunit` (I
think that compunit_symtab should just be renamed compunit...).
- Move the get_block_compunit_symtab free function to be a method of
global_block.
- Make global_block::compunit_symtab private and rename.
- Simplify initialize_block_iterator.
