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.
