Function ML_(find_name_of_pdb_file) in coregrind/m_debuginfo/readpdb.c currently uses dbghelp.dll for looking up the name of the PDB file.

This must be changed so that the function sends a request to the launcher over shared memory instead, and have the launcher look up the name of the PDB file using dbghelp.dll (possibly using Symbol Server to download the PDB on demand).

This will help eliminate the tools dependencies on dbghelp.dll/symsrv.dll. The goal is to have only the launcher depend on those DLLs.
