tccelf: consider DSO symbols for PROVIDE

An input shared object can be the only place where a conventional boundary name is referenced or defined. In that case the regular symbol table has no entry, but native ELF linkers still synthesize the executable definition so that it participates in dynamic symbol resolution.

Consult the input dynamic symbol table before treating a plain boundary name as unreferenced. Exercise the case with a DSO-defined end symbol whose address must be interposed by the executable's final boundary.
