When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.
So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.
Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

The algorithms used to prune aliases in symbols__fixup_duplicate() uses
information available on ELF symtabs that are not present on
/proc/kallsyms, so it picks different aliases as "best" for vmlinux and
kallsyms.
We could probably improve a bit this by having a list of aliases for the
"best" symbols picked, instead of throwing this info, but that is left
for when we find a real need.
With this, 'perf test vmlinux' passes:
# perf test -F 1
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
#
When we ask for verbose mode, we can see those warning:
# perf test -F -v 1
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:

Ignore vmlinux build-id when user gives offline vmlinux if the command
does not affect running kernel.
perf-probe has several actions some of them does not change the running
kernel, like --lines, --vars, and --funcs.
e.g.
-----
$ ./perf probe -k ./vmlinux-arm -V do_sys_open:14
Available variables at do_sys_open:14
@<do_sys_open+202>
char* filename
int dfd
int fd
int flags
struct filename* tmp
struct open_flags op

Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting
the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for
the machine.
Here is an example:
-----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition 'do_sys_open $params'
p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 dfd=%r5:s32 filename=%r1:u32 flags=%r6:s32 mode=%r3:u16
-----
Here, we can get probe/do_sys_open from above and append it to to the target
machine's tracing/kprobe_events file in the tracefs mountput, usually
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events (or /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events).

Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and
--vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line.
This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol
and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel.
E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below
----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols
Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel
Error: Failed to add events.
----
with this fix, we can get the definition
----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0

The symbols in the synthesized @plt entries where not demangled before,
i.e. we could end up with entries such as:
$ perf report
Samples: 7K of event 'cycles:ppp', Event count (approx.): 6223833141
Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
- 93.63% 28.89% lab_mandelbrot lab_mandelbrot [.] main
- 73.81% main
- 33.57% hypot
27.76% __hypot_finite
15.97% __muldc3
2.90% __muldc3@plt
2.40% _ZNK6QImage6heightEv@plt
+ 2.14% QColor::rgb
1.94% _ZNK6QImage5widthEv@plt
1.92% cabs@plt
This patch remedies this issue by also applying demangling to the
synthesized symbols. The output for the above is now:

It is a requirement from the perf TODO list[1]:
''The feature tests should be performed only when a file that needs those
tests, or at least only when some .c or .h file will be rebuilt. An
initial step would be for 'make install-doc' not to run the feature
tests, there it is not needed at all.''
By adding 'install-doc' to the NON_CONFIG_TARGETS, it will skip running
the feature tests for such target. The Auto-detecting system features
list will not be displayed:
$ make install-doc
BUILD: Doing 'make -j2' parallel build
SUBDIR Documentation
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'install'.
