find_symbol_hole_containing() fails to find a symbol hole (aka stripped
weak symbol) if its section has no symbols before the hole. This breaks
weak symbol detection if -ffunction-sections is enabled.
Fix that by allowing the interval tree to contain section symbols, which
are always at offset zero for a given section.
Fixes a bunch of (-ffunction-sections) warnings like:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .text.__x64_sys_io_setup+0x10: unreachable instruction
Fixes: 4adb23686795 ("objtool: Ignore extra-symbol code")
