Commit d30a1ad0 translated the symbol file checker from perl to
python by doing a literal translation in most cases. Unfortunately one
string formatting operation was not really translated into python
leaving users with non-helpful error:

'Symbol $1 is listed twice'

Use a simple
  if "substr" in line
before running a regular expression, which saves time,
especially if the regex has a capture group.

This reduces runtime of the check by almost 78 % for me.

For checking whether a substring is present in a string,
using the pattern:
    "str" in string
is slightly faster than:
    string.find("str") != -1

Use it to shave off 4 % of the runtime of this script that
processes quite a few long source files.

Running regular expressions with capture groups is expensive.
Bail out early if the line does not start with a '#'.

This reduces the runtime of the check by two thirds.

In testing though it was discovered the existing code was broken
since it hadn't been updated after driver.h was split into many
files. Since the old code is being thrown away, the fix was done
as part of the rewrite rather than split into a separate commit.
