GNU and Oracle libelf implementations added support for section
compression, intended to reduce the size of DWARF debug info (which
might be an order of magnitude larger than the code).
There are two compressed ELF section formats:
1. Old GNU - sections are renmaed to start with 'z'. Section contains
a magic number, uncompressed size, and compressed data.
2. Oracle and New GNU - compressed sections use the SHF_COMPRESSED flag.
The compression header contains the compression type, uncompressed
size, and uncompressed alignment.
The second style is preferred and this change implements only that one.

Highlights:
- Make sure that only TLS sections are sorted into TLS segment.
- Fixed multiple errors in "Section to Segment mapping".
- Man page updates
- ar improvements
- elfcopy: avoid filter_reloc uninitialized variable for rela
- elfcopy: avoid stripping relocations from static binaries
- readelf: avoid printing directory in front of absolute path
- readelf: add NT_FREEBSD_FEATURE_CTL FreeBSD note type
- test improvements
NOTES:
Some of these changes originated in FreeBSD and simply reduce diffs
between contrib and vendor.
ELF Tool Chain ar is not (currently) used in FreeBSD, and there are
improvements in both FreeBSD and ELF Tool Chain ar that are not in
the other.

The main problem was bitrot after elftoolchain being swapped in for the
GNU toolchain.
This also reworks how the list of 'host allowed' libraries is determined
to only allow INTERNALLIBs, which is needed for libelftc to come in.
For usr.bin/readelf use the same hack, as libelf and libdward, to bring in
the needed sys/ headers for host builds. This has not yet been a problem due
to readelf not being built as a host tool in buildworld. This is possible
in the meta build though when building the toolchain.

Tracking these leads to situations where meta mode will consider the
file to be out of date if /bin/sh or /bin/ln are newer than the source
file. There's no reason for meta mode to do this as make is already
handling the rebuild dependency fine.

This both avoids some dependencies on xinstall.host and allows
bootstrapping on older releases to work due to lack of at least 'install -l'

This self-written compiler warning, which is hopefully going to be
committed into LLVM sources soon, warns about potentially missing
`static' keywords, similar to -Wmissing-prototypes.
- bin/pax: Move external declaration of chdname and s_mask into extern.h.
- bin/setfacl: Move setfacl.c-specific stuff out of setfacl.h.
- sbin/mount_fusefs: Remove char *progname; use getprogname().
- others: add `static' where possible.
It is obvious that its modification time will change with each such file
builded.
This bug cause whole libelf to rebuild itself each second make run
(and relink that files on each first make run) in the loop.
When building libelf in the bootstrap stage this would include the tree
versions of, for example, sys/_types.h. This would work as long as the
tree's version of this file was close enough to the system's version of
the file. If, however, there was a change in the tree such that the location
of a typedef was moved this would cause problems. In this case the version
of sys/_types.h in the tree no longer defines __wchar_t and expects it to
to be defined in machine/_types.h, however we pick up machine/_types.h from
the system and find it is not defined there. The solution is to restrict the
parts of sys er include from the tree to those that are needed.
This fixes the recent Tinderbox failure.
