readelf vs. mapping symbols

This reverts commit 45cf0b8293, which isn't needed after commit
6d7e5bcca5.   Mapping symbols are like any other local symbol, and
shouldn't appear after the end of a section.

The real bug that resulted in both of these commits is that st_value
in an executable or shared library is the symbol address.  It was
wrong to compare an address against a section size (you'd need to
subtract off the section vma first).  The second commit limited the
warning to ET_REL where st_value is a section offset and thus can be
compared directly to the section size.
