 Use useful names for Symbol Addr and Names in Linker.c

 Replace `char*` and `void*` with `SymbolName` and `SymbolAddr` in
 `Linker.c`. Gives some useful information about what the variables are
 used for and also normalizes the types used in Mac, Linux and Windows

 Test Plan:
 ./validate on all platforms that use the runtime linker.

 For unix platforms please ensure `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=NO` is
  added to your validate file.

 This is a continuation from D2184
