Pavel Labath 23ccc29197 Open ELF core dumps with more than 64K sections
Summary:
Problem:

There are three filelds in the ELF header - e_phnum, e_shnum, and e_shstrndx -
that could be bigger than 64K and therefore do not fit in 16 bits reserved for
them in the header. If this happens, pretty often there is a special section at
index 0 which contains their real values for these fields in the section header
in the fields sh_info, sh_size, and sh_link respectively.

Fix:

- Rename original fields in the header declaration. We want to have them around
just in case.

- Reintroduce these fields as 32-bit members at the end of the header. By default
they are initialized from the header in Parse() method.

- In Parse(), detect the situation when the header might have been extended into
section info #0 and try to read it from the same data source.

- ObjectFileELF::GetModuleSpecifications accesses some of these fields but the
original parse uses too small data source. Re-parse the header if necessary
using bigger data source.

- ProcessElfCore::CreateInstance uses header with potentially sentinel values,
but it does not access these fields, so a comment here is enough.
