gdb: split iterate_over_symtabs into for_each_symtab and find_symtab
Same rationale as the previous patches.
For the moment, find_symtab is only needed internally in symtab.c, so
keep it static there. Note that the interaction with
objfile.map_symtabs_matching_filename gets cleaner in a subsequent
patch.
for_each_symtab is implemented using find_symtab, because the iteration
behavior is not completely trivial.
find_symtab_callback_ftype is in the header file, because it is used
from another source file in the next patch.
