Fix "catch exception" with dynamic linking
When an Ada program is dynamically linked against libgnat, and when
one of the standard exceptions is used, the exception object may be
referenced by the main executable using a copy relocation.
In this situation, a "catch exception" for those exceptions will not
manage to stop. This happens because, under the hood, "catch
exception" creates an expression object that examines the object
addresses -- but in this case, the address will be incorrect.
This patch fixes the problem by arranging for these filter expressions
to examine all the relevant minimal symbols. This way, the object
from libgnat will be found as well.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.
