Forwarder exports do not point to a real function or variable. Instead
they point to a string describing which DLL and symbol to forward to.
Any imports which uses them will be redirected by the loader
transparently, therefore it is not necessary for LLDB to know about them
when debugging.

Depends on D134426 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D134426>
