objects inside one ELF section, which prevents the creation of a ELF
section with mixed data types. For example, gcc LTO use libelf to
create a .gnu_lto_XXX section that contains integers and a string
table, which doesn't work with our libelf implementation.
The changes made in this commit include:
* Allow Elf_Data type to be different than section type.
* Relax Elf_Data alignment check.
* Align each Elf_Data by their own alignment instead of section alignment.

* Add new manual pages for `elf_getshdrstrndx()`, `elf_getphdrnum()` and

* Add a deprecation warning for `elf_getshstrndx()`, `elf_getphnum()` and
`elf_getshnum()`.

representations of ELF types.
The ELF(3) API allows applications to request a conversion that is
`in-place', i.e., with source and destinations data buffers being
the same. However, the file and memory sizes of ELF sections that
have additional internal structure, such as those of type `Elf_Note',
or `Elf_GNU_Hash_Header', can be determined only known after the
type-specific headers that comprise the first few words in these
sections are read and translated.
Pass in the size of destination buffer to type translation routines
in "libelf_convert.m4" and have these routines return an error code
if the translated data would not fit inside the destination buffer.

- elf_getdata() and elf_rawdata() should return an "Elf_Data" structure
that has its "d_buf" member set to NULL and "d_size" member set to
the nominal 'size' of the section. [1]
- Update the manual page for these functions.
- Fix a memory leak in an error handling path inside elf_getdata().
- Use _libelf_allocate_data() in elf_newdata() for consistency.

use of `elf_getbase()` on non-archive members. This change is needed
for gcc LTO (-flto) to work properly.
* Style fix: paranthesize returned values.
* Document the current behaviour of `elf_getbase()`.

structure on an elf_update(3) call. These fields of the Ehdr
structure are technically `out of bounds' for an application program

a new Ehdr structure using memcpy(), messing up the library's
invariants. [1]

templates to wrap an `#if __FreeBSD_version >= NNN'/`#endif' pair
around the generated code for each ELF data type, where `NNN' is
the OS version where the ELF type was added to the source tree.
This change allows cross-builds of old sources on newer FreeBSD
systems to work correctly.
