[PATCH v2] covoar: Handle periods in symbols from objdump

Occasionally the compiler will generate symbols that look similar to
symbols defined in RTEMS code except that they contain some suffix.
This looks to be related to compiler optimizations. Such symbols were
being treated as unique. For our purposes, they should be mapped to
the equivalent symbols in the DWARF info. This has been fixed.
