perf symbols: Add BSS symbols when reading from /proc/kallsyms
We were not considering 'B' and 'b' (BSS, uninitialized data objects,
that gets set to zero at program start), do it so that we can resolve
more symbols in tools doing resolution of data operands, like 'perf c2c'.
When using vmlinux, i.e. an ELF symbol table, those were already
considered, as the decision was about STT_FUNC or STT_OBJECT, and the
later covers BSS symbols.
