Re: libiberty: hashtab allocation functions with an extra argument

I suppose I can.  We try hard to avoid that; there's a separate value
of the argument per objfile, and it's a long-term design goal to have
most of GDB run as a library and use no global state (re-entrancy).

I can just document the issue for now and let the next person who wants
both mmalloc and re-entrancy down the road replace the hash table
implementation.  Let's drop this patch.
