ModuleList::GetSharedModule will call in to the DebugSymbols framework and may be able to find a file on the local system by Spotlight search, or by using the Platform's override of GetSharedModule, and may be faster than calling Symbols::DownloadObjectAndSymbolFile which calls out to an external program and is likely to do a network filesystem or download of the binary/symbol file.

A small perf improvement, NFC.  This is very much jason code, not really looking for a review of this one.
