objtool: Generalize elf_create_symbol()
In preparation for the objtool klp diff subcommand, broaden the elf_create_symbol() interface to give callers more control and reduce duplication of some subtle setup logic. While at it, make elf_create_symbol() and elf_create_section_symbol() global so sections can be created by the upcoming klp diff code.
