Dodji Seketeli 41d0ad035f Fix symbols comparison
While working on something else, I noticed that the code for handling
copying symbols (and their aliases) was broken, and so comparing two
symbols which main name were different by which had aliases that were
equal was wrongly resulting in the two symbol being different. I think
we shouldn't actually copy symbols and their aliases.  Once a symbol
is allocated, interested code should just manipulate that symbol by
address rather than by value an thus do away with the copying.

The patch does that, essentially.  In the implementation of a symbol,
the aliases as well as the main symbol are now weak pointers, rather
than naked pointers.  Numerous API entry points that were taking
containers of elf_symbol (and were copying elf_symbols over) are not
taking containers of smart pointers to elf_symbol.  Copying of
instances of elf_symbol is now thus disabled.

As a result many tests that were exercising elf_symbols (with alias)
comparison have been updated.

As a result, many empty sub-result of PR libabigail/PR17948 are now
fixed.

	* include/abg-ir.h (elf_symbol_wptr): New typedef.
	(elf_symbol): Make the constructors and assignment operator
	private.  The type can neither be copied nor created with the new
	operator.
	(elf_symbol::create): New static member function.
	(elf_symbol::{get_main_symbol, get_next_alias, add_alias}):
	Adjust.
	( compute_aliases_for_elf_symbol): Likewise.
	(elf_symbol::operator=): Make this private.
	(elf_symbol::get_alias_which_equals): Declare new member function.
	* src/abg-comp-filter.cc (function_name_changed_but_not_symbol):
	Adjust.
	* src/abg-comparison.cc
	(class_diff::ensure_lookup_tables_populated): Adjust.
	* src/abg-corpus.cc
	(corpus::priv::build_unreferenced_symbols_tables): Likewise.
	* include/abg-dwarf-reader.h (lookup_symbol_from_elf)
	(lookup_public_function_symbol_from_elf): Adjust.
	* src/abg-dwarf-reader.cc (lookup_symbol_from_sysv_hash_tab)
	(lookup_symbol_from_gnu_hash_tab, lookup_symbol_from_elf_hash_tab)
	(lookup_symbol_from_symtab, lookup_symbol_from_elf)
	(lookup_public_function_symbol_from_elf)
	(lookup_public_variable_symbol_from_elf): Adjust.
	(read_context::lookup_elf_symbol_from_index): Likewise.

	(read_context::lookup_public_variable_symbol_from_elf): Likewise.
	(read_context::load_symbol_maps): Likewise.
	(build_var_decl, build_function_decl): Likewise.
	* src/abg-ir.cc (elf_symbol::priv::{main_symbol_, next_alias_}):
	Change the type of these from elf_symbol* to elf_symbol_wptr.
	(elf_symbol::priv::priv): Adjust.
	(elf_symbol::{create, get_alias_which_equals}): Define new functions.
	(textually_equals): Likewise.
	(elf_symbol::{get_main_symbol, is_main_symbol, get_next_alias,
	add_alias}): Adjust to return or take elf_symbol_sptr type, rather
	than a elf_symbol* one.
	(elf_symbol::{get_aliases_id_string, does_alias}): Adjust.
	(compute_alias_for_elf_symbol): Likewise.
	(elf_symbol::operator==): Two symbols A and B are now equal if A
	has at least one alias that is textually equal to B.
	(equals): In the overload for function_decls, in the part where we
	compare the decl_base part of the functions without considering
	their decl names, we now also omit considering their linkage
	names, because we compared they symbols before.
	* tools/abisym.cc (main): Adjust.
