[PATCH][gdb/symtab] Enable ada .gdb_index

Hi,

Currently the .gdb_index is not enable for ada executables (PR24713).

Fix this by adding the required support in write_psymbols, similar to how that
is done for .debug_names in debug_names::insert.

Tested on x86_64-linux, with native and target board cc-with-gdb-index.

Any comments?

Thanks,
- Tom
