Simplify SymbolTable::add{Defined,Undefined,...} functions.

SymbolTable's add-family functions have lots of parameters because
when they have to create a new symbol, they forward given arguments
to Symbol's constructors. Therefore, the functions take at least as
many arguments as their corresponding constructors.

This patch simplifies the add-family functions. Now, the functions
take a symbol instead of arguments to construct a symbol. If there's
no existing symbol, a given symbol is memcpy'ed to the symbol table.
Otherwise, the functions attempt to merge the existing and a given
new symbol.

I also eliminated `CanOmitFromDynSym` parameter, so that the functions
take really one argument.

Symbol classes are trivially constructible, so looks like constructing
them to pass to add-family functions is as cheap as passing a lot of
arguments to the functions. A quick benchmark showed that this patch
seems performance-neutral.
