     Fix ExtraSymbols jump table on Windows.

     This corrects the `jump islands` calculations for Windows.  The code
 was
     incorrectly creating a new entry for every `usage` of a symbol instead
     of every used symbol. e.g. if a symbol is used 5 times it used to
 create
     5 jump islands. This is incorrect and not in line with what the `ELF`
     and `Mach-O` linkers do. Also since we allocate `n` spaces where `n`
 is
     number of symbols, we would quickly run out of space and abort.

     Test Plan: ./validate

 Phyx, does this resolve this issue?
