query_plt_statement(): add well-formed probe point
If the user provides a .plt[(string)] probe, then we'll end up in
query_one_plt during plt iteration, in which we create a specific_loc
where we replace the possibly globby string with the found plt. Mark
this specific loc as well-formed.
If the user provides a .plt[(string)].statement(number) probe, then
we'll end up in query_plt_statement() directly, in which case we need to
create the final well-formed probe point in which we omit the .plt part.
In commits e772a6e and 9891c54, we improved the way query_callee() and
query_label() add intermediate probes to the derivation chain by playing
with the dwarf_query. This technique will be required many times in
other places that we will need to fix up.
Therefore, we create two new dwarf_query helper functions. The
mount_well_formed_probe_point() function simply sets the current
base_loc and base_probe of the dwarf_query object to a new one, which is
denoted well-formed.
At first, this new location is simply a copy of the previous location,
with the exception of a fully resolved process/module path. Then,
depending on the probe point type, specific functors are replaced by
their final/non-globby versions to create a truly well-formed probe
point.
More helper functions to edit the functors will be added in the next
patch.
The unmount_well_formed_probe_point() refocuses the dwarf_query to the
previous base_loc/base_probe so that further probe points can be
derived.

sdt_query: set well-formed intermediate probe

simplify derived_probe::script_location()
Rather than relying on yucky heuristics, we go the explicit way. The
script_location() function now relies on the new probe_point member
'well_formed', which is true if the probe point represents the 'final'
script-level expression, after wildcard expansion.
Since only each individual probe builder knows what constitutes a
well-formed probe point, it will be up to those to set the 'well_formed'
flag as needed. If the probe point that we want to list is also the
final one, which is the case for many simpler probe points, then no
further work is needed. The following patches modify the appropriate
builders to do just this.

setup_note_probe_entry(): strengthen note checks
In dwflpp::iterate_over_notes(), we call back to
sdt_query::setup_note_probe_entry() for every note entry found,
regardless of section name or note name, which is fine.
However, on the callback side in setup_note_probe_entry(), we never
actually check that the section name or note name is correct; we only
check that the note entry type was what we expected.
This means that it could have been possible for setup_note_probe_entry()
to try to blindly parse data from a note entry which was not even a
stapsdt note, which could be dangerous.
This patch adds explicit checks that the section name and the note name
are what we expect.
