Subject: [PATCH] [lldb] Handle STT_TLS symbol type in ELF parser

Add handling for STT_TLS (thread-local storage) symbols in the ELF
symbol parsing code. Previously, TLS symbols like errno from glibc
were not recognized because STT_TLS was not handled in the symbol
type switch statement.

This treats TLS symbols as data symbols (eSymbolTypeData), similar
to STT_OBJECT.

Fixes #178953
