Add Objfile.lookup_{global,static}_symbol functions
This is essentially the inverse of Symbol.objfile. This allows handling different symbols with the same name (but from different objfiles) and can also be faster if the objfile is known. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-07-29 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com> * NEWS: Mention new functions Objfile.lookup_{global,static}_symbol. * python/py-objfile.c (objfpy_lookup_global_symbol): New function. (objfpy_lookup_static_symbol): New function. (objfile_object_methods): Add new functions. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2019-07-29 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com> * python.texi (Objfiles In Python): Document new functions Objfile.lookup_{global,static}_symbol. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-07-29 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com> * gdb.python/py-objfile.c: Add global and static vars. * gdb.python/py-objfile.exp: Test new functions Objfile. lookup_global_symbol and lookup_static_symbol.
