- Refine the checks for ARM mapping symbols and apply them on arm64 as
well as 32-bit arm. In particular, mapping symbols can have
additional characters and are not strictly limited to just "$a" but
can append additional characters (e.g. "$a.1"). Add "$x" to the
list of mapping symbol prefixes.
- Clear the LSB of function symbol addresses. Thumb function
addresses set the LSB to enable Thumb mode. However, the actual
function starts at the aligned address with LSB clear. Not clearing
the LSB can cause pmcannotate to pass misaligned addresses to
objdump when extracting disassembly.

(cherry picked from commit a6db407f15)
PowerPC kernel is of DYN type and it has a base address where it is
initially loaded, before being relocated. As the start address passed to
pmcstat_image_link() is where the kernel was relocated to, but the symbols
always use the original base address, we need to subtract it to get the
correct offset.

Modules from ports/pkg are commonly installed to /boot/modules rather than to
the same directory the kernel resides in. Look there if a module is not found
next to the kernel.

library -- libpmcstat.
This includes PMC logging module, symbols lookup functions,
ELF parsing, process management, PMC attachment, etc.
This allows to reuse code while building new hwpmc(4)-based applications.
Also add pmcstat_symbol_search_by_name() function that allows to find
mapped IP range for a given function name.
