tools lib traceevent: Robustify do_generate_dynamic_list_file

The dynamic-list-file used to export dynamic symbols introduced in

commit e3d09ec812 ("tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols
used by traceevent plugins")

is generated without any sort of error checking.

I experienced problems due to an old version of nm (v 0.158) that outputs
in a format distinct from the assumed by the script.

Robustify the built of dynamic symbol list  by enforcing that the second
column of $(NM) -u <files> is either "U" (Undefined), "W" or "w" (undefined
weak), which are the possible outputs from non-ancient $(NM) versions.
Print an error if format is unexpected.

v2: Accept "W" and "w" symbol options.
