perf symbols: Make sym->end be the first address after the symbol range
To follow vm_area_struct->vm_end convention.
By adhering to the convention that ->end is the first address outside
the symbol's range we can do things like:
sym->end = start + len;
len = sym->end - sym->start;
This is also now the convention used for struct map->end, fixing some
off-by-one bugs.
