[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.
