WINEDBG: add support to interrogate gdi objects

[Ulrich Czekalla]

I wrote this patch quite a while back in 2003. The db_disasm.c changes are
not part of the original patch. I'm not sure where they come from.

I'll update the patch as per your comments as soon as I get a chance and
resubmit it.

Thanks,

/Ulrich

> - always use (when looking for a symbol) the name of the DLL you're looking the symbol from. this has several good side effects: first, it shortens the scope for searching (as dbghelp treats all global symbol - static or public - in the same name space), this reduces the likely hood of name conflicts. Secondly, the search will be much faster (as dbghelp won't be searched for all loaded DLLs), and won't force loading of symbols in DLLs for which we haven't looked up symbols yet (deferred symbol loading). For example, you should use gdi32!GDI_HeapSel for the symbol out of gdi32.
