[COFF] Omit automatically imported symbols from the symbol table

These symbols actually point to the symbol's IAT entry, which
obviously is different from the symbol itself (which is imported
from a different module and doesn't exist in the current one).

Omitting this symbol helps gdb inspect automatically imported
symbols, see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24574
for discussion on the matter.

Surprisingly, those extra symbols don't seem to be an issue for
gdb when the sources have been built with clang, only with gcc.
The actual logic in gdb that this depends on still is unknown, but
omitting these symbols from the symbol table is the right thing to
do in any case.
