Some programs like RTOS firmware may have a large number of symbols.
The profile information in the profile data file includes histogram
records, which capture low PC and high PC of program execution. If all
histogram records come in the profile data file before any call-graph
records and basic-block records, we can look up only the line numbers
within low PC and high PC in histogram records, which reduces processing
time for such a firmware from ~2 minutes to ~2 seconds.
Add symbol table access function, get_symtab, get_symtab_direct and
set_symtab to delay loading the symbol table until its first use.
