Imagine we have a YAML declaration of few sections: `foo1`, `<unnamed 2>`, `foo3`, `foo4`.
To put them into segment we can do (1*):
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
- Section: foo4
```
or we can use (2*):
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
- Section: foo3
- Section: foo4
```
or (3*) :
```
Sections:
- Section: foo1
## "(index 2)" here is a name that we automatically created for a unnamed section.
- Section: (index 2)
- Section: foo3
- Section: foo4
```
It looks really confusing that we don't have to list all of sections.
At first I've tried to make this rule stricter and report an error when there is a gap
(i.e. when a section is included into segment, but not listed explicitly).
This did not work perfect, because such approach conflicts with unnamed sections/fills (see (3*)).
This patch drops "Sections" key and introduces 2 keys instead: `FirstSec` and `LastSec`.
Both are optional.

`PAddr` corresponds to `p_paddr` of a program header, which is the segment's physical
address for systems in which physical addressing is relevant. `p_paddr` is often equal
to `p_vaddr`, which is the virtual address of a segment.
This patch changes the default for `PAddr` from 0 to a value of `VAddr`.

To improve consistency and avoid unneeded shell feature (output
redirection).
While here, make other changes to improve consistency
--docnum 1 => --docnum=1
-docnum=x => --docnum=x
This teaches the tools to parse and dump
the .dynamic section and its dynamic tags.

This patch adds initial support for reading dynamic symbols from ELF binaries. Currently, STT_NOTYPE, STT_OBJECT, STT_FUNC, and STT_TLS are explicitly supported. Other symbol types are mapped to ELFSymbolType::Unknown to improve signal/noise ratio.
Symbols must meet two criteria to be read into in an ELFStub:
- The symbol's binding must be STB_GLOBAL or STB_WEAK.
- The symbol's visibility must be STV_DEFAULT or STV_PROTECTED.
This filters out symbols that aren't of interest during compile-time linking against a shared object.
This change uses DT_HASH and DT_GNU_HASH to determine the size of .dynsym. Using hash tables to determine the number of symbols in .dynsym allows llvm-elfabi to work on binaries without relying on section headers.

This change gives the llvm-elfabi tool the ability to read DT_SONAME from a binary ELF file into an ELFStub.
Added:
- DynamicEntries struct for storing dynamic entries that are relevant to elfabi.
- terminatedSubstr() retrieves a null-terminated substring from a StringRef.
- appendToError() appends a string to an error, allowing more specific error messages.

Follow up for D53051
This patch introduces the tool associated with the ELF implementation of
TextAPI (previously llvm-tapi, renamed for better distinction). This
tool will house a number of features related to enalysis and
manipulation of shared object's exposed interfaces. The first major
feature for this tool is support for producing binary stubs that are
useful for compile-time linking of shared objects. This patch introduces
beginnings of support for reading binary ELF objects to work towards
that goal.
Added:
- elfabi tool.
- support for reading architecture from a binary ELF file into an
ELFStub.
- Support for writing .tbe files.
