[PATCH dwarves 3/3] btf_encoder: compare functions via prototypes not parameter names

[Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com>]

Parameter names are a brittle choice for comparing function prototypes.
As noted by Jiri [1], a function can have a weak definition in one
CU with differing names from another definition, and because we require
name-based matches, we can omit functions unnecessarily.  Using a
conf_fprintf that omits parameter names, generate function prototypes
for string comparison instead.
