Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5 049bcd5483 Demangle C++ symbol names when loading ELF symbols
C++ homebrew has an unreadable symbol table -
everything is _ZN10PxRenderer7DrawImmE... - which makes the disassembly and
symbol list nearly useless. Add an Itanium C++ ABI demangler and run ELF
symbols through it on load, in both ElfReader::LoadSymbols (unstripped EXECs,
which is what a CMake pspdev EBOOT actually contains) and the companion-ELF
path.

The demangling standard is called Itanium for historical reasons - it
was defined for Itanium but ended up being almost universally
applicable.

Written from scratch rather than using __cxa_demangle, which doesn't exist on
MSVC/UWP, or vendoring LLVM's demangler, whose license doesn't fit. Anything
unrecognized (arbitrary constant expressions, decltype) aborts the parse and
the caller gets the original mangled name back, so a caller never sees a
half-parsed result. Recursion is depth-capped since the input comes from a
file we didn't write.

Checked against c++filt as an oracle: of 1089 mangled symbols in a real C++
homebrew EBOOT, one differs; of 55189 from libstdc++/libLLVM/cc1plus, 22
differ and 413 are declined. Fuzzed with 220k mutated and random inputs under
ASan/UBSan.

Also adds a right-click menu to the ImDebugger symbol list.

Note that SymbolMap stores names in char[128], so the longest STL names get
truncated in the UI. Still far more readable than the mangled form.
