pahole: Improve error message when not resolving symbolic names in filters

To improve figuring out why this command line fails:

  $ pahole -F dwarf -V ~/bin/perf --header=perf_file_header --seek_bytes '$header.data.offset' --size_bytes='$header.data.size' -C 'perf_event_header(sizeof,type,type_enum=perf_event_type,filter=type==PERF_RECORD_MMAP2)' --prettify perf.data
  pahole: sizeof_operator for 'perf_event_header' is 'size'
  pahole: type member for 'perf_event_header' is 'type'
  pahole: type enum for 'perf_event_header' is 'perf_event_type'
  pahole: filter for 'perf_event_header' is 'type==PERF_RECORD_MMAP2'
  Symbolic right operand in 'type==PERF_RECORD_MMAP2' but no way to resolve it to a number (type_enum empty or hasn't found any so far) at CU 'builtin-annotate.c')
  pahole: invalid filter 'type==PERF_RECORD_MMAP2' for 'perf_event_header'
  pahole: type 'perf_event_header' not found or arguments not validated
  $

In this case we don't have the 'enum perf_event_header' in
builtin-annotate.o, so we must defer trying to parse that
perf_event_header(sizeof,type,type_enum=perf_event_type,filter=type==PERF_RECORD_MMAP2)
class expression to when we find it.

When using BTF it all works as all types are in just one CU:

  $ pahole -F btf -V ~/bin/perf --header=perf_file_header --seek_bytes '$header.data.offset' --size_bytes='$header.data.size' -C 'perf_event_header(sizeof,type,type_enum=perf_event_type,filter=type==PERF_RECORD_MMAP2)' --prettify perf.data
  pahole: sizeof_operator for 'perf_event_header' is 'size'
  pahole: type member for 'perf_event_header' is 'type'
  pahole: type enum for 'perf_event_header' is 'perf_event_type'
  pahole: filter for 'perf_event_header' is 'type==PERF_RECORD_MMAP2'
  pahole: seek bytes evaluated from --seek_bytes=$header.data.offset is 0x3f0
  pahole: size bytes evaluated from --size_bytes=$header.data.size is 0xd10

If we replace PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 with its numeric value, then it works
with DWARF as well.
