[PATCH V3] symlookup: improves symbol lookup when a file is specified.

The provided patch adds a scope lookup with higher priority in the case a
a file is provided for the evaluation.
Usual symbol lookup from GDB follows linker logic. This is what is
desired most of the time. In the usage case presented a full qualified
scope is provided, so the lookup has to follow this priority. Failing in
finding the symbol at this scope usual path is followed.
As use and test case it is presented two shared objects having a global
variable with the same name but comming from different source files.
Without the patch evaluating those variables providing the file scope
returns the wrong value; It returns the value seen in the first loaded
shared object. Using the patch the value defined in the file scope is
the one returned.
One of the already existing test cases in print-file-var.exp starts to
fail after aplying this patch. In fact the value that the linker
sees is different then the one debugger can read from the shared object.
In this sense it looks like to me that the test has to be changed.
The fail is in the call:
print 'print-file-var-lib2.c'::this_version_id == v2
During load of the libraries linker resolves the symbol as the first one
loaded and independent of the scope the symbol will have the same value,
as defined in the first library loaded.
However, when defining the scope the value should represent the value
in that context. Diferent evaluations of the same symbols might also better
spot the issue in users code.
- I haven't changed the test because I wanted to hear the community
thought on the subject.
