If libbpf encounters an ELF file that has been stripped of its symbol
table, it will crash in bpf_object__add_programs() when trying to
dereference the obj->efile.symbols pointer.
Fix this by erroring out of bpf_object__elf_collect() if it is not able
able to find the symbol table.
v2:
- Move check into bpf_object__elf_collect() and add nice error message
Fixes: 6245947c1b3c ("libbpf: Allow gaps in BPF program sections to support overriden weak functions")
