Use symbol search name in expand_symtabs_matching_via_partial...
We are iterating over all symbols in a partial symtab that would match a given name, so we should match the partial symbols search name against the given name rather than using the natural name. In C++, that does not make a difference, but it does in Ada, because Ada searches using the symbol encoded name... We also update the generation of the .gdb_index file to match this change in the search. Although technically an incompatible change, we do not increment the gdb_index version number, because Ada is the only language where it would make a difference - except that this feature is not supported for Ada. gdb/ChangeLog: * psymtab.c (expand_symtabs_matching_via_partial): Match the partial symbols using their SYMBOL_SEARCH_NAME. * symfile.h (struct quick_symbol_functions): Udate the documentation of expand_symtabs_matching. * dwarf2read.c (write_psymbols): Use SYMBOL_SEARCH_NAME instead of SYMBOL_NATURAL_NAME in index entry.

If NAME_MATCHER returns zero, then this symbol is skipped.
