[RFC/RFA] Add handling for unqualified Ada operators in linespecs

[Joel Brobecker <brobecker at adacore dot com>]

Hello,

This patch enhances the linespec parser to recognize unqualified
operator names in linespecs. This allows the user to insert a breakpoint
on operator "+" as follow, for instance:

        (gdb) break "+"

Previously, it was possible to insert such a breakpoint, but one
had to fully qualify the function name. For instance:

        (gdb) break ops."+"

Not the most elegant solution, but relatively self contained. So
I thought I'd submit it, after all.  It's still not completely
functional because, for it to work, it needs the symtabs to be
already read-in (or, in other words, the partial symbol search is
still not working).  But that's actually another, much more general
problem, which is related to breakpoints using unqualified function
names in general.  I will try to think about that on its own.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * linespec.c (locate_first_half): Add handling of Ada operators
        when the current language is Ada.

Tested on x86_64-linux. It should also only affect Ada.
OK to apply?
