[lldb][ClangExpression] Filter out non-root namespaces in FindNamespace

**Summary**

In a program such as:
```
namespace A {
namespace B {
struct Bar {};
}
}

namespace B {
struct Foo {};
}
```
...LLDB would run into issues such as:
```
(lldb) expr ::B::Foo f
error: expression failed to parse:
error: <user expression 0>:1:6: no type named 'Foo' in namespace 'A::B'
::B::Foo f
~~~~~^
```

This is because the `SymbolFileDWARF::FindNamespace` implementation
will return *any* namespace it finds if the `parent_decl_ctx` provided
is empty. In `FindExternalVisibleDecls` we use this API to find the
namespace that symbol `B` refers to. If `A::B` happened to be the one
that `SymbolFileDWARF::FindNamespace` looked at first, we would try
to find `struct Foo` in `A::B`. Hence the error.

This patch proposes a new `SymbolFileDWARF::FindNamespace` API that
will only find a match for top-level namespaces, which is what
`FindExternalVisibleDecls` is attempting anyway; it just never
accounted for multiple namespaces of the same name.

**Testing**

* Added API test-case
