            Bug ID: 52582
           Summary: LLDB confuses multiple global variables with the same
                    name (even when they are in different namespace)

Background
Our binary has multiple global variables with the same basename but in
different namespaces. (Eg., lld::macho::symtab vs lld::elf::symtab,
lld::macho::in vs lld::elf::in, ...)

Repro:
Run the LLD linker under LLDB: (best to use MachO port to demonstrate this
bug):


lldb -- ld64.lld.darwninnew <... rest of args>

Set a breakpoint anywhere - but for best effect, here:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/2782cb8da0b3c180fa7c8627cb255a026f3d25a2/lld/MachO/Driver.cpp#L1141

(ie., right after `symtab` is set)

Try and print `symtab` or `in.got`:

```
(lldb) b Driver.cpp:1139
Breakpoint 1: 3 locations.
(lldb) run
Process 13244 launched:
'/Users/vyng/repo/llvm-project/build_lld/bin/ld64.lld.darwinnew' (x86_64)
Process 13244 stopped
* thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = breakpoint 1.2
    frame #0: 0x0000000100a0856f
ld64.lld.darwinnew`lld::macho::link(argsArr=ArrayRef<const char *> @
0x00007ff7bfefeeb0, canExitEarly=true, stdoutOS=0x00000001093b83a8,
stderrOS=0x00000001093b8410) at Driver.cpp:1139:12
   1136 
   1137   config = make<Configuration>();
   1138   symtab = make<SymbolTable>();
-> 1139   target = createTargetInfo(args);
   1140   depTracker =
   1141      
make<DependencyTracker>(args.getLastArgValue(OPT_dependency_info));
   1142   if (errorCount())
Target 0: (ld64.lld.darwinnew) stopped.
(lldb) print symtab
(lld::elf::SymbolTable *) $0 = nullptr
(lldb) print in.got
(lld::elf::GotSection *) $1 = nullptr
(lldb) print lld::macho::in.got
```

Expected:
Since the code that the breakpoint stopped on referred to the variable as
simply `symtab`, I would have expected LLDB's print to allow me to also use
`symtab`.

What actually happened:
LLDB always picked the globals from lld::elf .
(presumably because it's alphabetically before ::macho)

(Tested this with GDB and it didn't have this issue)
