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.

After implementing `FindFunctions` and removing this, `image lookup -a 0x4000b0 -v` in (lldb/test/Shell/SymbolFile/Breakpad/symtab.test) shows:
```
Function: id = {0x00000001}, name = "f1_func", range = [0x00000000004000b0-0x00000000004000bc)
       Symbol: id = {0x00000000}, range = [0x00000000004000b0-0x00000000004000c0), name="f1"
```
The symbol name is different from function because symbol name is from symtab and function name is from function in CU.

And `image lookup -n f1` and `image lookup -n f1_func` both give:
```
        Address: symtab.out[0x00000000004000b0] (symtab.out.PT_LOAD[0]..text2 + 0)
        Summary: symtab.out`f1_func
```

Looks like we don't want to remove this part.
