Given a pointer to the name of a symbol that should be added to the
miscellaneous function vector, and the address associated with that
symbol, records this information for later use in building the
miscellaneous function vector.
NOTES
FIXME: For now we just use mf_unknown as the type. This should be
fixed.

We have been initialized by a call to elf_symfile_init, which
currently does nothing.
ADDR is the address relative to which the symbols in it are (e.g.
the base address of the text segment).
MAINLINE is true if we are reading the main symbol
table (as opposed to a shared lib or dynamically loaded file).
This function only does the minimum work necessary for letting the
user "name" things symbolically; it does not read the entire symtab.
Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial
symbol tables. When more extensive information is requested of a
file, the corresponding partial symbol table is mutated into a full
fledged symbol table by going back and reading the symbols
for real. The function dwarf_psymtab_to_symtab() is the function that
does this for DWARF symbols.
Note that ELF files have a "minimal" symbol table, which looks a lot
like a COFF symbol table, but has only the minimal information necessary
for linking. We process this also, and just use the information to
add to the misc function vector. This gives us some minimal debugging
capability even for files compiled without -g.

separate entities. I.E. it is perfectly possible to have ELF objects
with debugging formats other than DWARF. And it is conceivable that the
DWARF debugging format might be used with another object file format,
like COFF, by simply using COFF's custom section feature.
GDB, and to a lesser extent BFD, should support the notion of separate
object file formats and debugging information formats. For now, we just
use "elf" in the same sense as "a.out" or "coff", to imply both the ELF
