Allow ELF Tool Chain elfcopy to be installed as objcopy ELF Tool Chain elfcopy is nearly a drop-in replacement for GNU objcopy, but does not currently support PE output which is needed for building x86 UEFI bits. Add a src.conf knob to allow installing it as objcopy and set it by default for aarch64 only, where we don't have a native binutils.

Document that WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY will be removed In case ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy introduces any regressions this knob is available as a transition aid. It will be removed once we are confident that any regressions have been fixed. 2016-02-29 16:39:38 +00:00			`This option is provided as a transition aid and will be removed in due time.`
