scripts/faddr2line: Invoke addr2line as a single long-running process

Rather than invoking a separate addr2line process for each address, invoke
a single addr2line coprocess, and pass each address to its stdin. Previous
work [0] applied a similar change to perf, leading to a ~60x speed-up [1].

If using an object file that is _not_ vmlinux, faddr2line passes a section
name argument to addr2line. Because we do not know until runtime which
section names will be passed to addr2line, we cannot apply this change to
non-vmlinux object files. Hence, it only applies to vmlinux.

DSO")
