[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.
[llvm-readobj/llvm-readelf] Delete --arm-attributes (alias for --arch-specific) D68110 added --arch-specific (supported by GNU readelf) and made --arm-attributes an alias for it. The tests were later migrated to use --arch-specific. Note, llvm-readelf --arch-specific currently just uses llvm-readobj style output for ARM attributes. The readelf-style output is not implemented.
