[XCOFF] change the decoding of External symbol's function auxiliary entry in XCOFF32 for llvm-readobj

Summary:

llvm-readobj decide whether to decode the external symbol's function auxiliary entry based on whether symbol is function or not currently. But the XCOFFSymbolRef::isFunction() do not work properly when -ffunction-sections is enabled. we will not decode the function auxiliary entry based on the XCOFFSymbolRef::isFunction()
we will decode the function auxiliary entry based on following:
According to the https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=formats-xcoff-object-file-format#XCOFF__c0f91ad419jbau

In XCOFF32, there are only "one csect Auxiliary Entry" and "a function auxiliary symbol table entry" for the C_EXT, C_WEAKEXT, and C_HIDEXT Symbols. and By convention, the csect auxiliary entry in an XCOFF32 file must be the last auxiliary entry for any external symbol that has more than one auxiliary entry( that means for the C_EXT, C_WEAKEXT, and C_HIDEXT Symbols. if there more than one auxiliary Entries. we look the last one as csect auxiliary entry. and others auxiliary entries as function entries).
