[PATCH v3 4/6] devtools: check ms linker map files

MSVC allows alias function names to be exported, but the mechanism is
different than the one used by gcc. It was considered to enhance the logic
in the existing version.map files but that file is also passed to other
tools on Linux, making this challenging. A simpler approach is to have an
optional version.map file to be used only when Microsoft's linker is to be
used. This optional map file is only necessary for libraries that have
versioned code.

Script check-symbol-maps.sh was updated to check these optional files.
