Subject: scripts/gdb: add automatic symbol reloading on module insertion

This installs a silent breakpoint on the do_init_module function.  The
breakpoint handler will try to load symbols from the module files found
during lx-symbols execution.  This way, breakpoints can be set to module
initialization functions, and there is no need to explicitly call
lx-symbols after (re-)loading a module.
