Add support to readelf and objdump for following links to separate debug information files.

Hi Guys,

  I am applying the rather large patch attached to this email to enhance
  the readelf and objdump programs so that they now have the ability to
  follow links to separate debug info files.  (As requested by PR
  15152).  So for example whereas before we had this output:

    $ readelf -wi main.exe

    Contents of the .debug_info section:
    [...]
    <15>   DW_AT_comp_dir    : (alt indirect string, offset: 0x30c)
    [...]

  With the new option enabled we get:

    $ readelf -wiK main.exe

    main.exe: Found separate debug info file: dwz.debug
    Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from main.exe):
    [...]
    <15>   DW_AT_comp_dir    : (alt indirect string, offset: 0x30c) /home/nickc/Downloads/dwzm
    [...]

  The link following feature also means that we can get two lots of
  output if the same section exists in both the main file and the
  separate debug info file:

    $ readelf -wiK main.exe
    main.exe: Found separate debug info file: dwz.debug
    Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from main.exe):
    [...]
    Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from dwz.debug):
    [...]

  The patch also adds the ability to display the contents of debuglink
  sections:

    $ readelf -wk main.exe
    Contents of the .gnu_debugaltlink section:

      Separate debug info file: dwz.debug
      Build-ID (0x14 bytes):
     c4 a8 89 8d 64 cf 70 8a 35 68 21 f2 ed 24 45 3e 18 7a 7a 93

  Naturally there are long versions of these options (=follow-links and
  =links).  The documentation has been updated as well, and since both
  readelf and objdump use the same set of debug display options, I have
  moved the text into a separate file.  There are also a couple of new
  binutils tests to exercise the new behaviour.

  There are a couple of missing features in the current patch however,
  although I do intend to address them in follow up submissions:

  Firstly the code does not check the build-id inside separate debug
  info files when it is searching for a file specified by a
  .gnu_debugaltlink section.  It just assumes that if the file is there,
  then it contains the information being sought.

  Secondly I have not checked the DWARF-5 version of these link
  features, so there will probably be code to add there.

  Thirdly I have only implemented link following for the
  DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt format.  Other alternate formats (eg
  DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt) have yet to be implemented.

  Lastly, whilst implementing this feature I found it necessary to move
  some of the global variables used by readelf (eg section_headers) into
  a structure that can be passed around.  I have moved all of the global
  variables that were necessary to get the patch working, but I need to
  complete the operation and move the remaining, file-specific variables
  (eg dynamic_strings).

Cheers
  Nick
