Highlights of changes between r3490 and r3520:
- Improve C++ demangling
- Improve compatibility with Binutils tools wrt. error messages
- Handle additional types/sections/etc. in readelf and elfdump
- addr2line, cxxfilt: use setvbuf to set line buffering for filter use

dwarf_attrval_*() will search the parent DIE referenced by a
DW_AT_abstract_origin attribute for the value of the DW_AT_type attribute.
Do the same thing for the DW_AT_specification attributes in variable
definitions emitted by GCC 6.2, and ensure that we return an error rather
than crashing if neither DW_AT_abstract_origin or DW_AT_specification is
found when looking for the value of the DW_AT_type attribute.

This fixes build failures on older releases that lack various
definitions such as EM_AARCH64 (which was unfixed before this).
Revert all of the recent compatibility changes that worked around this
problem.
This uses the same method of using the in-tree header as lib/libelf,
lib/libdwarf and usr.bin/readelf.

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.

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 (not already in the FreeBSD tree):
- addr2line: Fixed multiple memory leaks related to DIE allocation
- readelf: improve sh_link validation
- various man page improvements

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.

Highlights:
- Fix man page markup, whitespace, and typos

- Improve validation in readelf and elfcopy/strip
- Handle DWARF 4's DW_AT_high_pc in addr2line

Some architectures use .rel relocations (for debug data), so they must
be handled.
This was discovered from ctfconvert on ARM object files. The lack of
relocation handling caused all string lookups to return the string at
offset 0 in .debug_str, typically "FreeBSD clang version ..."

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.

This includes a number of libdwarf improvements (particularly DWARF4
related) and updates to elftoolchain tools such as strip(1). It also
includes a large number of miscellaneous fixes (memory leaks, sign and
cast warnings, integer overflow and underflow, etc.).
This is a merge of r276167,276170-276172 from the
projects/elftoolchain-update-r3130 branch.

* If the .debug_info section conforms to DWARF4, do not allow the value
of attributes with form DW_FORM_data[48] to be used as section
offset.
(DWARF4) form DW_FORM_flag_present which implicitly indicates the
presence of the attribute. Manual page is updated to reflect this
change.
Note that this was previously fixed in the old libdwarf.
