Nick Alcock e05a3e5a49 libctf: lookup_by_name: do not return success for nonexistent pointer types 
The recent work allowing lookups of pointers in child dicts when the
pointed-to type is in the parent dict broke the case where a pointer
type that does not exist at all is looked up: we mistakenly return the
pointed-to type, which is likely not a pointer at all.  This causes
considerable confusion.

Fixed, with a new testcase.
