objtool/klp: Fix extraction of text annotations for alternatives
Objtool is failing to extract text annotations which reference .altinstr_replacement instructions: 1) Alternative replacement fake symbols are NOTYPE rather than FUNC, and they don't have sym->included set, thus they aren't recognized by should_keep_special_sym(). 2) .discard.annotate_insn gets processed before .altinstr_replacement, so the referenced (fake) symbols don't have clones yet. Fix the first issue by checking for a valid clone instead of sym->included and by accepting NOTYPE symbols when processing .discard.annotate_insn. Fix the second issue by deferring text annotation processing until after the other special sections have been cloned.
