[binutils-gdb] Make the linespec/location completer ignore data symbols


*** TEST RESULTS FOR COMMIT f9d67a22392f8f52c779f68a2561eb35c2f86b81 ***

Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Branch: master
Commit: f9d67a22392f8f52c779f68a2561eb35c2f86b81

Make the linespec/location completer ignore data symbols

Currently "b foo[TAB]" offers data symbols as completion candidates.
This doesn't make sense, since you can't set a breakpoint on data
symbols, only on code symbols.

 (gdb) b globa[TAB]
 (gdb) b global [ENTER]
 Function "global" not defined.
 Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
 (gdb) info symbol global
 global in section .rodata

So this patch makes linespec completion ignore data symbols.
