dwfl_attach_state alternative taking Ebl?

This is what we do. We parse perf.data. perf.data may contain 
information about file mappings at any point, and it may take a while 
until the first valid one shows up. So we postpone dwfl_attach_state 
until we have a mapping we can resolve to a local elf file.

The code would be cleaner if we could attach_state before starting to 
parse. And there might be pathological cases where no valid elf file can 
ever be found but we can still unwind by frame pointer.
