Subject: [PATCH v1 3/9] perf symbol: Move libelf code to its own file/header

Move perf declarations depending on libelf out of symbol.h into
perf-libelf.h. Move the corresponding C code into perf-libelf.c. This
is motivated by trying to make it clearer the symbol.[ch] is generic
code without library dependencies.
