Highlights:
- Fix man page markup, whitespace, and typos
- Fix sh_info of SHT_GROUP section to point to the correct string
- Improve validation in readelf and elfcopy/strip
- Handle DWARF 4's DW_AT_high_pc in addr2line

This can occur when DW_AT_specification is used to refer to another DIE
that provides the actual DW_AT_name string. For example:
< 3><0x00000086> DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_name PrettyStackTraceEntry
...
< 1><0x00002cf4> DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_specification <0x00000086>
We will need to add support for DW_AT_specification, but in the interim
we should not segfault.

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 ..."

Strip is often used to modify existing files, rather than creating new
files. If the existing file has hard links or is a symbolic link, act as
if editing the file in place and preserve the links.

The initial fix in r276374 is valid only for 64-bit objects. Revert it
and return an error in CHECK_EHDR if the multiplication would overflow.
The original buffer overflow issue was found with the security/afl
fuzzer and has upstream elftoolchain ticket 462. The 32-bit object issue
with r276374 found by antoine@ during an i386 exp-run.

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

When requested to strip specific symbols (-N flag) the default should be
to strip nothing (other than the requested symbols). This is consistent

The namesz and descsz variables need to be used in native endianness.
The sizes are in native order after swapping in the file to memory case,
and before swapping in the memory to file case.
This issue was identified for r273443, but the change was applied to the
wrong case. Revert r273443 to fix the to-memory case, and apply the
equivalent change to the to-file case.

the ELF file's byte order is not the native byte order. The
bug is that the variables holding the name and description size
are used (natively) after having been byte-swapped. The fix is
to calculate sz from them just prior to byte-swapping.
