For very large ELF objects (with many sections), we could
get special value SHN_XINDEX (65535) for symbol's st_shndx.

This patch is adding code to detect the optional extended
section index table and use it to resolve symbol's section
index.

Adding elf_symtab__for_each_symbol_index macro that returns
symbol's section index and usign it in collect functions.

From a quick look it seems you addressed Andrii's review comments,
right?

yep, it's described in the cover email

I've merged it locally, but would like to have some detailed set of
steps on how to test this, so that I can add it to a "Committer testing"
section in the cset commit log and probably add it to my local set of
regression tests.

sorry I forgot to mention that:

The test was to run pahole on kernel compiled with:
  make KCFLAGS="-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections" -j$(nproc) vmlinux

and ensure FUNC records are generated and match normal
build (without above KCFLAGS)

Also bpf selftest passed.

Who originally reported this? Joe? Also can someone provide a Tested-by:
in addition to mine when I get this detailed set of steps to test?

oops, it was reported by Yulia Kopkova (just cc-ed)

Joe tested the v2 of the patchset, I'll make a dwarves scratch
build with v3 and let them test it
