.gdb_index writer: close the file before unlinking it
We should close the file before unlinking because on MS-Windows one
cannot delete a file that is still open.
I considered making 'gdb::unlinker::unlinker(const char *)'
'noexcept(true)' and then adding
static_assert (noexcept (gdb::unlinker (filename.c_str ())), "");
but that doesn't really work because gdb::unlinker has a gdb_assert,
which can throw a QUIT if/when the assertion fails. 'noexcept(true)'
would cause GDB to abruptly terminate if/when the assertion fails.

* dwarf2read.c (write_psymtabs_to_index): Construct file_closer
