perf symbols: Use both runtime and debug images

We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around
and generate symbols by looking at both of these.

This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism
combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time.

Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has
dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and
no dynsyms).

Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored.

This fixes 2 issues:

- Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols
installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains
function descriptors.

- On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and
that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a
dynsym section.

Assumptions:

- If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority
image with a dynsym section.

- This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section
(ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).
