    libstdc++: Fix std::any pretty printer
    
    The recent changes to FilteringTypePrinter affect the result of
    gdb.lookup_type('std::string') in StdExpAnyPrinter, causing it to always
    return the std::__cxx11::basic_string specialization. This then causes a
    gdb.error exception when trying to lookup the std::any manager type for
    a specliaization using that string, but that manager was never
    instantiated in the program. This causes FAILs when running the tests
    with -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0:
    
    FAIL: libstdc++-prettyprinters/libfundts.cc print as
    FAIL: libstdc++-prettyprinters/libfundts.cc print as
    
    The ugly solution used in this patch is to repeat the lookup for every
    type that std::string could be a typedef for, and hope it only works for
    one of them.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * python/libstdcxx/v6/printers.py (StdExpAnyPrinter): Make
            expansion of std::string in manager name more robust.
