* bfd.c (struct bfd_preserve, bfd_preserve_save, bfd_preserve_restore,

	bfd_preserve_finish): Move to..
	* format.c: ..here, splitting out..
	(bfd_reinit): ..this.  New function.
	(bfd_check_format_matches): Use bfd_preserve_save/restore to
	keep bfd state for a match.
	* elfcode.h (elf_object_p): Don't use bfd_preserve_save/restore.
	* elfcore.h (elf_core_file_p): Likewise.
	* mach-o.c (bfd_mach_o_header_p): Likewise.
	* pef.c (bfd_pef_object_p, bfd_pef_xlib_object_p): Likewise.
	* xsym.c (bfd_sym_object_p): Likewise.
	* mmo.c (mmo_scan): Clear abfd->symcount.
	* opncls.c (_bfd_new_bfd): Use a smaller section hash table.
	* section.c (bfd_section_list_clear): Clear section_htab.count.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.
