Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 18425f13a0 perf symbols: Save DSO loading errno to better report errors
Before, when some problem happened while trying to load the kernel
symtab, 'perf top' would show:

      ┌─Warning:───────────────────────────┐
      │The vmlinux file can't be used.     │
      │Kernel samples will not be resolved.│
      │                                    │
      │                                    │
      │Press any key...                    │
      └────────────────────────────────────┘

Now, it reports:

  # perf top --vmlinux /dev/null

      ┌─Warning:───────────────────────────────────────────┐
      │The /tmp/passwd file can't be used: Invalid ELF file│
      │Kernel samples will not be resolved.                │
      │                                                    │
      │                                                    │
      │Press any key...                                    │
      └────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

This is possible because we now register the reason for not being able
to load the symtab in the dso->load_errno member, and provide a
dso__strerror_load() routine to format this error into a strerror like
string with a short reason for the error while loading.

That can be just forwarding the dso__strerror_load() call to
strerror_r(), or, for a separate errno range providing a custom message.
