Only symbols in sections marked with `SHF_ALLOC` should be added to the VM map. This adds a check to filter non-`SHF_ALLOC` entries and fixes an issue where info related sections could have addresses that conflicted with `SHF_ALLOC` sections that actually affect the VM size. Fixes: google#469
Adds a test to make sure information sections that overlap with `SHF_ALLOC` sections are ignored for VM mappings.
