perf tools: Improve message about missing symtabs for deleted DSOs
Instead of: no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so (deleted), maybe install a debug package? no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioconvert.so (deleted), maybe install a debug package? We now emit: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so was updated, restart the long running apps that use it! /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioconvert.so was updated, restart the long running apps that use it! Which is far less misleading about what the cause of the symbol mismatch is.
