[docs][llvm-readelf] Expand llvm-readelf documentation

Previously, the llvm-readelf documentation was essentially just a list
of differences to llvm-readobj. Since llvm-readelf is the more likely
goto tool for many people migrating to the LLVM toolchain, it seems like
it would be helpful to document all the switches in the llvm-readelf
document too. This change expands the options listed accordingly.
Additionally, they are unlikely to care what the differences are to
llvm-readobj, since they won't be familiar with the latter as there is
no GNU equivalent, so this change moves the "differences" section to
llvm-readobj's documentation.

llvm-readelf - GNU-style LLVM Object Reader
===========================================
.. program:: llvm-readelf
SYNOPSIS
--------
:program:`llvm-readelf` [*options*] [*input...*]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The :program:`llvm-readelf` tool displays low-level format-specific information
about one or more object files.
If ``input`` is "``-``" or omitted, :program:`llvm-readelf` reads from standard
input. Otherwise, it will read from the specified ``filenames``.
OPTIONS
-------
.. option:: --all
Equivalent to specifying all the main display options.
.. option:: --addrsig
Display the address-significance table.
.. option:: --arm-attributes
Display the ARM attributes section. Only applicable for ARM architectures.
.. option:: --color
Use colors in the output for warnings and errors.
.. option:: --demangle, -C
Display demangled symbol names in the output.
.. option:: --dyn-relocations
Display the dynamic relocation entries.
.. option:: --dyn-symbols, --dyn-syms
Display the dynamic symbol table.
.. option:: --dynamic-table, --dynamic, -d
Display the dynamic table.
.. option:: --elf-cg-profile
Display the callgraph profile section.
.. option:: --elf-hash-histogram, --histogram, -I
Display a bucket list histogram for dynamic symbol hash tables.
.. option:: --elf-linker-options
Display the linker options section.
.. option:: --elf-output-style=<value>
Specify the style to dump ELF information in. Valid options are ``LLVM`` and
``GNU``. ``LLVM`` output is an expanded and structured format, whilst ``GNU``
(the default) output mimics the equivalent GNU :program:`readelf` output.
.. option:: --elf-section-groups, --section-groups, -g
Display section groups.
.. option:: --expand-relocs
When used with :option:`--relocations`, display each relocation in an expanded
multi-line format.
.. option:: --file-headers, -h
Display file headers.
.. option:: --gnu-hash-table
Display the GNU hash table for dynamic symbols.
.. option:: --hash-symbols
Display the dynamic symbols derived from the hash table.
.. option:: --hash-table
Display the hash table for dynamic symbols.
.. option:: --headers, -e
Equivalent to setting: :option:`--file-headers`, :option:`--program-headers`,
and :option:`--sections`.
.. option:: --help
Display a summary of command line options.
.. option:: --help-list
Display an uncategorized summary of command line options.
.. option:: --hex-dump=<section[,section,...]>, -x
Display the specified section(s) as hexadecimal bytes. ``section`` may be a
section index or section name.
.. option:: --needed-libs
Display the needed libraries.
.. option:: --notes, -n
Display all notes.
.. option:: --program-headers, --segments, -l
Display the program headers.
.. option:: --raw-relr
Do not decode relocations in RELR relocation sections when displaying them.
.. option:: --relocations, --relocs, -r
Display the relocation entries in the file.
.. option:: --sections, --section-headers, -S
Display all sections.
.. option:: --section-data
When used with :option:`--sections`, display section data for each section shown.
.. option:: --section-mapping
Display the section to segment mapping.
.. option:: --section-relocations
When used with :option:`--sections`, display relocations for each section shown.
.. option:: --section-symbols
When used with :option:`--sections`, display symbols for each section shown.
.. option:: --stackmap
Display contents of the stackmap section.
.. option:: --string-dump=<section[,section,...]>, -p
Display the specified section(s) as a list of strings. ``section`` may be a
section index or section name.
.. option:: --symbols, --syms, -s
Display the symbol table.
.. option:: --unwind, -u
Display unwind information.
.. option:: --version
Display the version of this program.
.. option:: --version-info, -V
Display version sections.
.. option:: @<FILE>
Read command-line options from response file `<FILE>`.
EXIT STATUS
-----------
:program:`llvm-readelf` returns 0 under normal operation. It returns a non-zero
exit code if there were any errors.

DIFFERENCES TO LLVM-READELF
---------------------------
:program:`llvm-readelf` is an alias for the :manpage:`llvm-readobj` tool with a
slightly different command-line interface and output that is GNU compatible.
Following is a list of differences between :program:`llvm-readelf` and
:program:`llvm-readobj`:
- :program:`llvm-readelf` uses `GNU` for the :option:`--elf-output-style` option
by default. :program:`llvm-readobj` uses `LLVM`.
- :program:`llvm-readelf` allows single-letter grouped flags (e.g.
``llvm-readelf -SW`` is the same as ``llvm-readelf -S -W``).
:program:`llvm-readobj` does not allow grouping.
- :program:`llvm-readelf` provides :option:`-s` as an alias for
:option:`--symbols`, for GNU :program:`readelf` compatibility, whereas it is
an alias for :option:`--section-headers` in :program:`llvm-readobj`.
- :program:`llvm-readobj` provides ``-t`` as an alias for :option:`--symbols`.
:program:`llvm-readelf` does not.
- :program:`llvm-readobj` provides ``--sr``, ``--sd``, ``--st`` and ``--dt`` as
aliases for :option:`--section-relocations`, :option:`--section-data`,
:option:`--section-symbols` and :option:`--dyn-symbols` respectively.
:program:`llvm-readelf` does not provide these aliases, to avoid conflicting
with grouped flags.
