Subject: [PATCH v5 07/20] scripts/gdb: Add lx_modvar convenience function

This function looks up and returns global module variables. Gdb is only
aware of their types and section offsets, not their absolute addresses.
The function either searches the symbol table of a specified module or
it derives the module name from the object file of the current frame.
