A few comment cleanups

Browse Source 
I stumbled upon a few comments that I think are outdated.

Comment for elfread.c (elf_symfile_init): As far as history goes in git,
I don't see anything related to that.

Comment for elfread.c (elf_symfile_read): References a parameter that was
removed in 1999.

Comment for struct sym_fns/sym_offsets: References a parameter that was
changed in 1999.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* elfread.c (elf_symfile_init): Remove stale comment.
	(elf_symfile_read): Same.
	* symfile.h (struct sym_fns): Same.

We have been initialized by a call to elf_symfile_init, which
currently does nothing.
SECTION_OFFSETS is a set of offsets to apply to relocate the symbols
in each section. We simplify it down to a single offset for all
symbols. FIXME.
This function only does the minimum work necessary for letting the
user "name" things symbolically; it does not read the entire symtab.
Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial

It is passed a pointer to a struct sym_fns which contains, among other
things, the BFD for the file whose symbols are being read, and a slot for
a pointer to "private data" which we can fill with goodies.
For now at least, we have nothing in particular to do, so this function is
just a stub. */
