[Enhancement] Don't include library functions, identified by `IDA`, in decoding functions

See original GitHub issue

Currently, floss depends on https://github.com/mandiant/flare-floss/tree/master/sigs to determine the library functions, but in some cases floss includes library functions (identified by IDA FLIRT) in decoding functions. So, can we leverage the IDA FLIRT to exclude them or I think sigs need some update.

My answers (i.e. the matching part) is referring to your comment. I’d like to investigate the concern if there’s more need for it besides wrapper function differences (as this is what I’ve seen so far only).
