perf symbols: Allow for static executables with .plt

A statically linked executable can have a .plt due to IFUNCs, in which
case .symtab is used not .dynsym. Check the section header link to see
if that is the case, and then use symtab instead.

Example:

Before:

$ cat tstifunc.c
#include <stdio.h>

void thing1(void)
{
printf("thing1\n");
}

void thing2(void)
{
printf("thing2\n");
}

typedef void (*thing_fn_t)(void);

thing_fn_t thing_ifunc(void)
{
int x;

if (x & 1)
return thing2;
return thing1;
}

void thing(void) __attribute__ ((ifunc ("thing_ifunc")));

int main()
{
thing();
return 0;
}

perf symbols: Move symsrc prototypes to a separate header

So that we can remove dso.h from symbol.h and reduce the header
dependency tree.

Fixup cases where struct dso guts are needed but were obtained via
symbol.h, indirectly.
