    elf: Remove fallback to the start of DT_STRTAB for dladdr
    
    When neither DT_HASH nor DT_GNU_HASH is present, the code scans
    [DT_SYMTAB, DT_STRTAB). However, there is no guarantee that .dynstr
    immediately follows .dynsym (e.g. lld typically places .gnu.version
    after .dynsym).
    
    In the absence of a hash table, symbol lookup will always fail
    (map->l_nbuckets == 0 in dl-lookup.c) as if the object has no symbol, so
    it seems fair for dladdr to do the same.
