gdb: lx-symbols: store the abspath()

If we store the relative path, the user might later cd to a different directory, and that would break the automatic symbol resolving that happens when a module is loaded into the target kernel. Fix this by storing the abspath() of each path given, just like we already do for the cwd (os.getcwd() is absolute.)
