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.
