create_fake_symbols() sizes each ANNOTATE_DATA_SPECIAL entry from the
offset of the next annotation, falling back to the end of the section
for the last entry. But the last entry is detected by a zero size,
which also happens for an *empty* entry: ALTERNATIVE(oldinstr, "", ft)
still annotates its zero-length replacement, at the same offset as the
next entry's annotation.
So every empty replacement gets a fake symbol spanning the entire rest
of .altinstr_replacement. That's harmless today only because
find_symbol_containing() picks the smaller of two overlapping symbols.
Track whether a next annotation was found rather than inferring it from
the size. A zero-length fake symbol is fine: find_symbol_containing()
skips those, so the properly sized symbol at the same offset still wins.
