Some notable improvements include:
readelf:
- Add AArch64 relocation definitions.
- Report value of unknown relocation types.
elfcopy:
- Consider symbols with STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding as global symbols.
- Fixed support for VMA adjustment for loadable sections found
in relocatable objects.
- Handle nameless global symbols.
- Improve wildcard matching for !-prefixed symbols.
- Add PE/COFF support.
elfdump:
- Improve section type reporting.
- Add MIPS-specific section types.
This update also includes a significant number of bug fixes.

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.

This fixes two strip(1) issues found during ports exp-run and adds a
string hash implementation which significantly speeds up certain
operations on objects with large numbers of symbols.
This also improves libdwarf handling for stripped objects with
.eh_frame or .debug_frame (but not other debug) sections.
