Traversing a hash table
-----------------------

   The function `bfd_hash_traverse' may be used to traverse a hash
table, calling a function on each element.  The traversal is done in a
random order.

   `bfd_hash_traverse' takes as arguments a function and a generic
`void *' pointer.  The function is called with a hash table entry (a
`struct bfd_hash_entry *') and the generic pointer passed to
`bfd_hash_traverse'.  The function must return a `boolean' value, which
indicates whether to continue traversing the hash table.  If the
function returns `false', `bfd_hash_traverse' will stop the traversal
and return immediately.
