Commit 35039eb6b199 ("x86: Show symbol name if insn decoder test failed")
included symbol lines in the post-processed objdump output consumed by
the insn decoder test. This broke the `instuction lines == total lines`
property that `insn_decoder_test.c` relied upon to print the offending
line's number in error messages. This has the consequence that the line
number reported on a test failure is unreated to, and much smaller than,
the line that actually caused the problem.
Add a new variable that counts the combined (insn+symbol) line count and
report this in the error message.
