[PATCH 8/9] scripts/qemugdb: coroutine: Speed up coroutine lookup in a coredump

'qemu bt' on a coredump takes significant time before the first
coroutine frame is even printed.  The bulk of the delay is resolving a
name.

co_tls_current is a file static variable, and CoroutineUContext is defined
in the same compilation unit, so resolving either of them by name makes gdb
expand every symtab in the binary.

Look the static up with gdb.lookup_static_symbol(), which is served from
the gdb's in-memory index, and scope the type lookup to the symtab that
comes with it.  This significantly speeds up 'qemu bt' processing.
