  [LLDB] Omit loading local symbols in LLDB symbol table (#154809)

https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-should-we-omit-local-symbols-in-eekciihgtfvflvnbieicunjlrtnufhuelf-files-from-the-lldb-symbol-table/87384

Improving symbolication by excluding local symbols that are typically
not useful for debugging or symbol lookups. This aligns with the
discussion that local symbols, especially those with STB_LOCAL binding
and STT_NOTYPE type (including .L-prefixed symbols), often interfere
with symbol resolution and can be safely omitted.
