perf symbols: Add support for x86 .plt.sec



The section .plt.sec was originally added for MPX and was first called
.plt.bnd. While MPX has been deprecated, .plt.sec is now also used for
IBT.  On x86_64, IBT may be enabled by default, but can be switched off
using gcc option -fcf-protection=none, or switched on by -z ibt or -z
ibtplt. On 32-bit, option -z ibt or -z ibtplt will enable IBT.

With .plt.sec, calls are made into .plt.sec instead of .plt, so it makes
more sense to put the symbols there instead of .plt. A notable
difference is that .plt.sec does not have a header entry.

For x86, when synthesizing symbols for plt, use offset and entry size of
.plt.sec instead of .plt when there is a .plt.sec section.

Example on Ubuntu 22.04 gcc 11.3:

  Before:

    $ cat tstpltlib.c
    void fn1(void) {}
    void fn2(void) {}
    void fn3(void) {}
    void fn4(void) {}
    $ cat tstplt.c
    void fn1(void);
    void fn2(void);
    void fn3(void);
    void fn4(void);

    int main()
    {
            fn4();
            fn1();
            fn2();
            fn3();
            return 0;
    }
    $ gcc --version
