[Geany] Backport request: fix for segfault when generating tags on 0.20

[Worth, Kevin]

I knew the symbols on the left would only be shown for the current file, but my test was to do a "Go to definition" for a function that wasn't in a currently-open file. This should work if you load a global tags file, right?  i.e.  fileA.c has a call to a functionB in fileB.c- if you open fileA.c, right-click the call to functionB and select "Go to definition"- it should open fileB.c and go to the line number of functionB's definition (as found in mycode.c.tags), right? Just making sure I'm understanding the expected behavior.

Only symbols from open files show in the symbols pane, but loaded tags
should still do autocompletions etc.

Loading tags is for libraries etc and you don't want all of GTK
showing in the symbols pane, you would never find your own symbols.

Came up with an alternate approach- make a new project, open all my .c files, and let geany generate the tags as it opens the files. It's not that big of a project, and it saves me the headache of spending more time messing with something that I assume is working in 0.21.
