While vmlinux_path__init() populates these candidates and dso__load_vmlinux_path() loads symbols into a DSO/map, callers (such as test suites or probing tools) often need to verify the existence of an accessible vmlinux on disk before attempting machine setup or test execution. Introduce vmlinux_path__find() to search through the configured vmlinux_path entries (or symbol_conf.vmlinux_name if explicitly set) and return the path to the first readable vmlinux file, or NULL if none is accessible.
