  objtool: Don't fail on missing symbol table (2021-01-21 15:49:58 -0600)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 - Adjust objtool to handle a recent binutils change to not generate unused
 symbols anymore.

 - Revert the fail-the-build-on-fatal-errors objtool strategy for now due to the
 ever-increasing matrix of supported toolchains/plugins and them causing too
 many such fatal errors currently.

 - Do not add empty symbols to objdump's rbtree to accommodate clang removing
 section symbols.
