<summary>Changes</summary>

Names with "weak" link attribute can have a definition in multiple source files. The externalDefMap file used at CTU analysis did not contain information about this and using more (weak) definitions with same name was indicated as error.

Format of the externalDefMap file is changed in a way that the USR string contains a '-' character at the begin if the symbol is weak (this is counted in the USR-length value). At non-weak symbols the format remains unchanged. At reading the definitions, one of the weak symbols is chosen if there is no "strong" definition, otherwise the "strong" is used, and multiple "strong" definitions are error (like before).
