Remove SymbolsToAnalyze global variable

- Removed SymbolsToAnalyze from app_common and replaced it with the
  symbolsToAnalyze_m member variable in DesiredSymbols, GcovData, and
  ObjdumpProcessor
- Added a parameter to constructors to initialize symbolsToAnalyze_m
- Moved the definition of objdumpLine_t out of ObjdumpProcessor to make
  it work with DesiredSymbols
