perf symbols: Try reading the symbol table with libbfd
Wine generates PE binaries for its code modules and also generates debug files in PE or PDB formats, which perf cannot parse either. Trying to read symbols on non-ELF binaries with libbfd, when supported, makes it possible for perf to report symbols and annotations for Windows applications running under Wine. Because libbfd doesn't provide symbol size (probably because of some backends not supporting it), we compute it by first sorting the symbols by addresses and then considering that they are sequential in a given section. v3: Also include local and weak bfd symbols and mark them as such, only global symbols were previously reported, and that caused a very imprecise address to symbol resolution.
