It's expected that the tests verifying symtab contents need updating after you 
remove some things from it. It's also possible some other tests will need minor 
tweaks (like the one in `line-table.test:54`) because of small differences in 
output format.

Whether this is a reasonable change cannot be judged by failing tests alone. 
You also need to evaluate the overall quality of the debugger output. That will 
have to be a judgement call, but I'm hoping it won't be a hard one. For 
example, the change in line-table.test was definitely for the better.

And if an address is covered both by a Symtab Symbol, and an SymbolFile 
Function, lldb will preferentially (in backtraces, for instance) display 
information from the Function, so I think (hope) that this is going to work 
exactly as desired.
