Improvements include:
* readelf: report all relocation types in rel/rela for MIPS N64
* readelf: add ELFOSABI_ARM_AEABI
* elfdump: add ELFOSABI_ARM_AEABI and ELFOSABI_ARM
* Add recent RISC-V relocations
* elfcopy: use elftc_timestamp, to support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

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.

This fixes a EFI/PE header issue that prevented elfcopy-produced .efi
files from working with Secure Boot:
Make sure section raw size is always padded to multiple of
FileAlignment from the optional header, as requested by the PE
specification. This change should reduce the diff between PE image
generated by Binutils objcopy and elftoolchain elfcopy.

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.

Fix a symbol table handling bug in elfcopy: elfcopy puts .symtab,
.strtab and .shstrtab sections in the end of the output object. If
the input objects have more sections after any of these 3 sections,
the section table will be reordered, and in that case the section
symbols should be regenerated for relocations.
The bug is triggered since newer clang puts .strtab section in the
beginning of the object produced.

Merge ELF Tool Chain r3434:
Previously, elfcopy defines:
VMA: section virtual address
LMA: PHDR(p_vaddr)
While binutils(libbfd) defines:
VMA: section virtual address and PHDR(p_vaddr).
LMA: PHDR(p_paddr)
For elfcopy, p_paddr is considered not meaningful and is always set
to the same value as p_vaddr.
elfcopy was implemented that way because I thought p_paddr is not
used/meaningful according to the ELF ABI. However it turned out
p_paddr is at least used in some ELF files, e.g. the FreeBSD kernel.
This change made elfcopy treat p_paddr as LMA, same as libbfd.
(However, some VMA/LMA related command line option still need tweaking
to make them compatible with binutils objcopy. This will be improved
later)

This fixes the Xen kernel build.

An empty debug link target previously returned a confusing and incorrect
error like "objcopy: fread failed: No error: 0". Now, return an explicit
error.
GNU objcopy allows an empty file as the debug link target. However,
that case is nonsensical so diverging from GNU behaviour is fine.

If the output object is not an ELF file, choose an arbitrary ELF format
for the intermediate file. srec, ihex and binary formats are independent
of class, endianness and machine type so these choices do not affect the
output.

The change in r291958 was not consistent with GNU objcopy. The start,
end and size symbols created for ELF objects converted from binary need
to include the full filename including the extension, but with the
periods replaced with underscores.

When converting from binary to ELF, elfcopy creates symbols
_binary_<filename>_start_, _binary_<filename>_end, and
_binary_<filename>_size. For compatibility with GNU objcopy (and to
produce sensible symbol names) the extension must be stripped off.

ELF Tool Chain built on FreeBSD's ar and elfdump, but has a number of
improvements and enhancements. Bring them into contrib in order to start
integrating into our build.
As of LLVM revision 238073, LLVM stores symbols and section names in
the same string table. From the upstream commit mesage:
With the scheme of naming sections like ".text.foo" where foo is a
symbol, there is a big potential saving in using a single one.
This is a cherry-pick of ELF Tool Chain revision 3225.

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.

and to kaiw@ for fixing.

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.
