This fixes PR python/13351.
The bug is that gdb.lookup_symbol required a current frame, but this
restriction doesn't really make sense. It is ok to look up global
symbols without a current frame.
This patch just lifts the restriction.
This requires a doc review.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 15.

PR python/13351:
* python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_symbol): Work even when there
is no frame.
I think a bit of discussion is needed. [Sorry!]
There is also lookup_global_symbol.
Are we sure we want lookup_symbol to work when there is no frame?
[it doesn't feel very clean to me, but maybe I just need to look at it
differently]
