Description

I noticed that when piping certain output through demangle(1), names that start with '_' will generate an error. The issue is that it cannot determine which language generated the mangled symbol (since it's not actually one), which causes the sysdemangle function to error with ENOTSUP instead of EINVAL. The fix is trivial -- both EINVAL and ENOTSUP errors should just prompt demangle(1) to output the original string.

For testing, I ran a copy of demangle(1) with the change agains the original output that caused the error. The error no longer appears, and the output was now as expected.
