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

* 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.

Highlights (upstream revisions):
- Fix SHT_GROUP handling in elfcopy/strip (3206 3220 3221)
- Misc elfcopy / strip bug fixes (3215 3216 3217)
- Many C++ demangler improvements (3199 3200 3201 3202 3203 3204 3205
3208 3210 3211 3212)
- Improve GNU binutils compatibility in elfcopy / strip (3213 3214)
- Add -g option to readelf(1): dump contents of section groups (3219)
- Add EM_IAMCU 32-bit Intel MCU (3198)
Also add a compat #define for building with older FreeBSD ELF headers.
The GRP_COMDAT flag was added to elf_common.h in r283110, but it's not
available during the bootstrap build. It is also convenient to be able
to build on older hosts.
Thanks to antoine@ for tracking down issues through multiple exp-runs
and to kaiw@ for fixing.
