Just like debug info can be in a standalone binary (with gnu_debuglink), or in the original ELF binary, and they work equivalently for symbolization.

Ideally, prof name section in PGO can also be separated out as a strippable section. If we plan to separate PGO and code coverage stuff under compiler-rt/profile in the future. This is a good candidate as part of that effort.
