objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries

Commit 436326bc525d ("objtool: fix build failure due to missing libopcodes
check") tests for libopcodes using an empty main(), which passes even when
static libraries lack their dependencies. This causes undefined reference
errors (xmalloc, bfd_get_bits, etc.) when linking against static libopcodes
without its required libbfd and libiberty.

Fix by testing with an actual libopcodes symbol and trying increasingly
complete library combinations until one succeeds.
