Previously, global_var__collect() required get_global_var_info() to
succeed (i.e., the variable must have a symbol name) before caching a
global variable. This prevented variables that exist in DWARF but lack
symbol table coverage from being cached.

Remove the symbol table requirement since DW_OP_addr already provides
the variable's address directly from DWARF. The symbol table lookup is
now optional to obtain the variable name when available.

Also remove the var_offset != 0 check, which was intended to skip
variables where the access address doesn't match the symbol start.
The symbol table lookup is now optional and I found removing this check
has no effect on the annotation results for both kernel and userspace
programs.

Test results show improved annotation coverage especially for userspace
programs with RIP-relative addressing instructions.
