  These functions are extremely similar; make them a single function
with a block_enum argument. Cleanup only; no behavior change.

gdb/ChangeLog:

Would it be a cleaner approach to merge the common behavior in a static
function in symtab.c, and make the existing lookup_static_symbol and
lookup_global_symbol functions wrappers on that new static function?
This way, no change would be necessary in the users. I also think
"lookup_static_symbol (arg1, arg2)" is easier to read than
"lookup_global_symbol (arg1, nullptr, STATIC_BLOCK, arg2)"; and
"lookup_global_symbol (arg1, arg2, arg3)" is easier than
"lookup_global_symbol (arg1, arg2, GLOBAL_BLOCK, arg3)".

Regards,
-Baris
