    section_table_xfer_memory: Replace section name with callback predicate

    This patch is motivated by the need to be able to select sections
    that section_table_xfer_memory_partial should consider for memory
    transfers.  I'll use this facility in the next patch in this series.

    section_table_xfer_memory_partial() can currently be passed a section
    name which may be used to make name-based selections.  This is similar
    to what I want to do, except that I want to be able to consider
    section flags instead of the name.

    I'm replacing the section name parameter with a predicate that,
    when passed a pointer to a target_section struct, will return
    true if that section should be further considered, or false which
    indicates that it shouldn't.

    I've converted the one existing use where a non-NULL section
    name is passed to section_table_xfer_memory_partial().   Instead
    of passing the section name, it now looks like this:

    	  auto match_cb = [=] (const struct target_section *s)
    	    {
    	      return (strcmp (section_name, s->the_bfd_section->name) == 0);
    	    };

    	  return section_table_xfer_memory_partial (readbuf, writebuf,
    						    memaddr, len, xfered_len,
    						    table->sections,
    						    table->sections_end,
    						    match_cb);

    The other callers all passed NULL; they've been simplified somewhat
    in that they no longer need to pass NULL.

    gdb/ChangeLog:

    	* exec.h (section_table_xfer_memory): Revise declaration,
    	replacing section name parameter with an optional callback
    	predicate.
    	* exec.c (section_table_xfer_memory): Likewise.
    	* bfd-target.c, exec.c, target.c, corelow.c: Adjust all callers
    	of section_table_xfer_memory.
