(a) the 2nd argument must not be NULL
This was true anyhow and requiring it allows us to simplify the function
by eliminating the local buffer.
(b) the memory pointed to by the 2nd argument is always initialised
In the past the output file name was not initialised in case VG_(open)
failed 10 times in a row. The call sites in m_main.c and m_gdbserver/target.c
were reading the uninitialised filename unconditionally. This was spotted
by IBM's BEAM checker.
Fix call sites, eliminate some magic constants along the way.

On 4 Apr 06, the debuginfo reader (m_debuginfo) was majorly cleaned up
and restructured. It has been a bit of a tangle for a while. On 18 Sep 14
the STABS support was completely removed. The new structure looks like this:
debuginfo.c
readelf.c
readdwarf.c
storage.c
Each .c can only call those below it on the page.
storage.c contains the SegInfo structure and stuff for
maintaining/searching arrays of symbols, line-numbers, and Dwarf CF
info records.
readdwarf.c parses the relevant kind of info and call storage.c to
store the results.
readelf.c reads ELF format, hands syms directly to storage.c,
then delegates to readdwarf.c for debug info. All straightforward.
debuginfo.c is the top-level file, and is quite small.
There are 2 goals to this:
(1) Generally tidy up something which needs tidying up
(2) Introduce more modularity, so as to make it easier to add
readers for other formats, if needed
Rationale for (1) and (2) are obvious.
Originally there was also goal (3) Simplify the stabs reader.
But stabs support was broken since 3.9.0 and completely removed in 3.10.0.
The worst thing is that it is the stabs type reader that was crashing,
not the stabs line-number reader.
Old versions of the stabs type reader can be found in the subversion repository
as m_debuginfo/UNUSED_STABS.txt, the stabs line-number reader was in
m_debuginfo/readstabs.c. The old version of this file explained more
about the setup.
