Add handling for unqualified Ada operators in linespecs

This patch enhances the linespec parser to recognize unqualified
operator names in linespecs. This allows the user to insert a breakpoint
on operator "+" as follow, for instance:

        (gdb) break "+"

Previously, it was possible to insert such a breakpoint, but one
had to fully qualify the function name. For instance:

        (gdb) break ops."+"

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * linespec.c (locate_first_half): Add handling of Ada operators
        when the current language is Ada.
