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_symbols function.
