If we returning 32 bits value it's hard to distinguish if the returned value
is a valid one or if its an error (in case of EOF). For that reason separate
exit code of the function from the returned character.

Instead of depending on one stdin FILE structure and use freopen(3), pass to
the functions appropriate FILE structure.

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.

Previously a command like "strings f1 f2 f3" reported the exit status
based only on processing the last file.
As with GNU strings, report an error exit status if an error was
encountered processing any of the files. While here simplify the
exit status handling to just success (0) / failure (1).

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.
