[SharedCache] Optimize `ReadExportNode`
`ReadExportNode` is called a lot during the initial load of the shared cache and thus impacts how long it takes for the UI to become responsive. This is a collection of optimizations that cut the time spent within `ReadExportNode` by 50%: 1. Pass iterators to `ReadExportNode` rather than a `DataBuffer` + offset. The lack of inlining in `DataBuffer`'s `operator[]` kills performance. Ideally this would have used `std::span`, but that would require bumping the minimum C++ version to C++20. 2. Add `MMappedFileAccessor::ReadSpan` so that `ReadExportNode` can operate directly on the mapped data without first copying it. 3. Removes a call to `GetAnalysisFunctionsForAddress` whose result was unused. 4. Use `std::find` to find the nul at the end of strings rather than assembling the string a character at a time. This avoids repeatedly growing the string. 5. Avoid the usual `Symbol` constructor in favor of `BNCreateSymbol`. The `Symbol` constructor has over head in two forms: 1. It has a `NameSpace` as an argument. Creating / destroying this allocates and deallocates memory We could create a single instance and reuse it for all calls, but... 2. The constructor copies all fields of the `NameSpace` to the heap before calling `BNCreateSymbol` and then deallocates them afterwards. This seems unnecessary, and adds a non-trivial amount of overhead. This can go back to directly constructing the `Symbol` once the constructors are improved.
