Ability to add symbols via plugin

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Looking at the source code the debugger only exports a pointer to the current 
SymbolManager which does not have a function that allows dynamically adding 
symbols.

This is crucial when for example you want to write a plugin that adds all 
exported functions from loaded modules. More importantly, it should do so for 
every newly loaded module (another feature request right there :p).
Not knowing which API you're currently stopped at is frustrating.

It would also allow adding custom symbols ('labels') manually for identified 
functions.

The SymbolMananagerInterface now has a new public function called "add_symbol" 
in my working copy. Which is the simplest way to allow this type of 
functionality.

I am considering an additional mechanism where the symbol manager could  
"defer" to a plugin when it doesn't find a simple. This would make it so 
plugins could manage the symbols they are concerned with internally as well. 
Good for static tables and similar.
