create-diff-object doesn't really need the full kernel object file as
input. All it requires is a symbol table. Switch to using "eu-readelf -s"'s
output instead of object files. This will enable us to cover more cases
in unit tests.

We use kelf_base->symbols to find a unique matching FILE+locals combination
when we call lookup_open(). If we can't find one matching or we find more
than one matching, we error out.
If we find a unique one, we setup table->local_syms in lookup_open(),
so later lookup_local_symbol() could do its lookup based on table->local_syms.
Fixes#604.

Have lookup_open() also parse Module.symvers and add the resulting symbols
and their objnames to the lookup table. This code was essentially
cherry-picked from Josh Poimboeuf's lookup code found here:
8cdca59c88
That patch was modified to fix a bug in obj_read() (calling elf_end()
without strdup'ing the symbol name strings, which was causing null
dereferences) and to fix up the module name after reading it from
Module.symvers (replacing '-' with '_' and stripping the path prefixes).
Also, add lookup_exported_symbol_objname(), which looks up the objname of
an exported symbol by making use of the objname information obtained from
Module.symvers.
Support patching objects that have duplicated function names. This feature was
introduced upstream in Linux v4.5.
This patch appends the symbol position to the symbol structure when
lookup_local_symbol is called. This pos variable is then used when creating the
funcs and dynrelas sections. Finally, incorporate sympos into the livepatch
patch hook only if the kernel version is greater than v4.5. In other cases the
older format is used.
Fixes: #493

In preparation for dynamic symbol linking, the symbol lookup logic
is going to move into create-diff-obj anyway. We might as well
minimize the code duplication and pull this into create-diff-obj.
This avoids having to re-parse the ELF file modify it in-place.

We merged PR #186 a little too hastily. It seg faults with the new
