CVS commit by nethercote: 


Greatly improved the symbol table reading code.  It was a kludgy, accreted
mess.  Pulled the symbol table reading bit out of vg_read_lib_symbols() into
read_symtab(), in the process removing the awful twice-only loop used to read
the symbol table and the dynamic symbol table.  Factored out the code used to
find sections of interest (eg. .strtab, .symtab, .stabs, .plt, etc), replacing
nine (yes, nine) individual and slightly differing searches.  

It's now much easier to understand, 132 lines shorter, and provides a better
base for easily doing more complicated debug stuff, eg. when we start reading
in all the debugging info (such as .debug_info for dwarf2).
