Make "break foo" find "A::foo", A::B::foo", etc. [C++ and wild matching]

This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes
(namespaces and classes) by default.

Here's a contrived example:

  (gdb) b func<tab>
  (anonymous namespace)::A::function()            Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()        function(int, int)
  (anonymous namespace)::B::function()            Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function()           gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function()
  (anonymous namespace)::B::function() const      Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)   gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function()
  (anonymous namespace)::function()               Bn::B::func()                                   gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)
  (anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)       Bn::B::function()                               gdb::A::func()
  A::func()                                       Bn::func()                                      gdb::A::function()
  A::function()                                   Bn::function()                                  gdb::func()
  B::func()                                       Bn::function(int, int)                          gdb::function()
  B::function()                                   Bn::function(long)                              gdb::function(int, int)
  B::function() const                             func()                                          gdb::function(long)
  B::function_const() const                       function()
  (gdb) b function
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations)

  (gdb) b B::function<tab>
  (anonymous namespace)::B::function()        B::function() const                         Bn::B::function()
  (anonymous namespace)::B::function() const  B::function_const() const
  B::function()                               Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
  (gdb) b B::function
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations)

To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as
a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q")
option/flag (added by this commit).  For example:

 (gdb) b B::function
 (anonymous namespace)::B::function()        B::function() const                         Bn::B::function()
 (anonymous namespace)::B::function() const  B::function_const() const
 B::function()                               Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()

vs:

 (gdb) b -qualified B::function
 B::function()              B::function() const        B::function_const() const

I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or
"fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function".

Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit
locations.  I.e., these are equivalent:

 (gdb) b -q func
 (gdb) b -q -f func

and so are these:

 (gdb) b -q filename.cc:func
 (gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func
 (gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func
 (gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q

To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default,
consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is
wrapped under "namespace gdb {}".  I have a patch series that does
that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became
frustrated.  You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b
gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty
quickly.  OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set
breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces.  You just
don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically.

(At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they
run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects.  One
example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the
"llvm" namespace.)

Implementation-wise, what the patch does is:

  - makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of
    a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by
    last-component name only).

  - adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD,
    which ignores missing leading specifiers / components.

  - adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when
    they mean it.

  - adds new testsuite tests.

  - adds unit tests.

Grows the gdb.linespec/ tests like this:

  -# of expected passes           7823
  +# of expected passes           8977
