Handle "p S::method()::static_var" in the C++ parser

This commit makes "print S::method()::static_var" actually find the
debug symbol for static_var.  Currently, you get:

  (gdb) print S::method()::static_var
  A syntax error in expression, near `'.

Quoting the whole string would seemingly work before the previous
patch that made GDB stop assuming int for no-debug-info variables:

  (gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
  $1 = 1

... except that's incorrect output, because:

  (gdb) ptype 'S::method()::static_var'
  type = <data variable, no debug info>

The way to make it work correctly currently is by quoting the
function/method part, like this:

  (gdb) print 'S::method()'::static_var
  $1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
  (gdb) ptype 'S::method()'::static_var
  type = struct aggregate {
      int i1;
      int i2;
      int i3;
  }

At least after the "stop assuming int" patch, this is what we
now get:

  (gdb) p 'S::method()::static_var'
  'S::method()::static_var' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
  (gdb) p (struct aggregate) 'S::method()::static_var'
  $1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}

However, IMO, users shouldn't really have to care about any of this.
GDB should Just Work, without quoting, IMO.

So here's a patch that implements support for that in the C++ parser.
With this patch, you now get:

  (gdb) p S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate
  $1 = {i1 = 1, i2 = 2, i3 = 3}
  (gdb) ptype S::method()::S_M_s_var_aggregate
  type = struct aggregate {
      int i1;
      int i2;
      int i3;
  }
