[lldb] Make symbol list output from `image dump symtab` not depend on internal ordering of DenseMap
ClosedPublic

Summary

image dump symtab seems to output the symbols in whatever order they appear in the DenseMap
that is used to filter out symbols with non-unique addresses. As DenseMap is a hash map this order
can change at any time so the output of this command is pretty unstable. This
also causes the Breakpad/symtab.test to fail with enabled reverse iteration (which reverses the DenseMap
order to find issues like this).

This patch makes the DenseMap a std::vector and uses a separate DenseSet to do the address filtering.
The output order is now dependent on the order in which the symbols are read (which should be
deterministic). It might also avoid a bit of work as all the work for creating the Symbol constructor
parameters is only done when we can actually emplace a new Symbol.

This should also avoid changing the test all the time when someone touches one of the symbols (as in D68533 )

Looks good.

AFAICT, that patch modified the test because it actually introduced a new symbol -- the order of the existing symbols was not changed.

Oh true, somehow phab is just highlighting the function names as if they have changed. My bad!
