Subject: [RFC v5 14/57] objtool: Do not look for STT_NOTYPE symbols

ELF symbols can have type STT_NOTYPE which have no standard semantics.

Arm64 objects will contain STT_NOTYPE symbols at the beginning of each
section which aren't of any use to generic objtool code. Those symbols
unfortunately overlap with the first function of the section.

Skip symbols with type STT_NOTYPE when looking up symbols.
