Highlights:
- Make sure that only TLS sections are sorted into TLS segment.
- Fixed multiple errors in "Section to Segment mapping".
- Man page updates
- ar improvements
- elfcopy: avoid filter_reloc uninitialized variable for rela
- elfcopy: avoid stripping relocations from static binaries
- readelf: avoid printing directory in front of absolute path

NOTES:
Some of these changes originated in FreeBSD and simply reduce diffs
between contrib and vendor.
ELF Tool Chain ar is not (currently) used in FreeBSD, and there are
improvements in both FreeBSD and ELF Tool Chain ar that are not in
the other.
