Make probe_ops::get_probes fill an std::vector

This patch changes one usage of VEC to std::vector.  It is a relatively
straightforward 1:1 change.  The implementations of
sym_probe_fns::sym_get_probes return a borrowed reference to their probe
vectors, meaning that the caller should not free it.  In the new code, I
made them return a const reference to the vector.

This patch and the following one were tested by the buildbot.  I didn't
see any failures that looked related to this one.
