gdb.base/corefile.exp is showing an unexpected failure and an
unresolved testcase when testing against unix/-m32:

 A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
 further debugging may prove unreliable.

The problem is that the multi-target commit added a
scoped_restore_current_thread to remove_target_sections (frame #7
above).  scoped_restore_current_thread's ctor fetches the selected
frame's frame id.  If the frame had not had its frame id computed yet,
it is computed then (frame #4 above).  Because it has been determined
earlier that the frame's unwinder is the DWARF unwinder, we end up
here:

 static struct dwarf2_frame_cache *
 dwarf2_frame_cache (struct frame_info *this_frame, void **this_cache)
 {
 ...
   /* Find the correct FDE.  */
   fde = dwarf2_frame_find_fde (&pc1, &cache->per_objfile);
   gdb_assert (fde != NULL);

And, that assertion fails.  The assertion is reasonable, because the
DWARF unwinder only claims the frame if it managed to find the FDE
earlier (in dwarf2_frame_sniffer).

(unix/-m32 is thus really a red herring here -- it's just that on
x86_64 -m64, the frame is not claimed by the DWARF unwinder.)

The reason the assertion is failing, is because the objfile that
contains the FDE has been removed from the objfiles list already when
we get here (frame #22 above).  This suggests that the fix should be
to invalidate DWARF frames when their objfile is removed.  Or to keep
it simple and safe, invalidate the frame cache when an objfile is
removed.  That is what this commit does.

OOC, I checked why is it that when you unload a file with plain "(gdb)
file", we don't hit the assertion.  It must be because we're already
flushing the frame cache somewhere else in that case.  And indeed, we
flush the frame cache here:
