perf symbols: Convert dso__load_syms to take 2 symsrc's
To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image (which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols). The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images") adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to pass both runtime & debug images. Assumptions made here: - The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in both the runtime image and the debug/syms image. - The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image. Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).
