Improvements include:
* Add support for reporting and handling a number of new constants in
various tools, including:
* CloudABI OSABI
* DT_TLSDESC_*
* i386, MIPS, SPARC and amd64 relocations
* C++ demangler bug fixes
* Man page updates
* Improved input validation in several tools
This update also reduces diffs against upstream as a number of fixes
included in upstream were previously cherry-picked into FreeBSD.

This can occur when DW_AT_specification is used to refer to another DIE
that provides the actual DW_AT_name string. For example:
< 3><0x00000086> DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_name PrettyStackTraceEntry
...
< 1><0x00002cf4> DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_specification <0x00000086>
We will need to add support for DW_AT_specification, but in the interim
we should not segfault.
