I just hard core goofed when I wrote this and created a different name
for no good reason. I'm failry aware of most "fresh" users of llvm-objcopy
(that is, users which are not using it as a drop in replacement for GNU
objcopy) and can say that only "-j" is being used by such people so this
patch should strictly increase compatibility and not remove it.

This flag does not exist in GNU objcopy but has a major use case.
Debugging tools support the .build-id directory structure to find
debug binaries. There is no easy way to build this structure up
however. One way to do it is by using llvm-readelf and some crazy
shell magic. This implements the feature directly. It is most often
the case that you'll want to strip a file and send the original to
the .build-id directory but if you just want to send a file to the
.build-id directory you can copy to /dev/null instead.

This allows libtool to detect the presence of llvm-strip and use
it with the options --strip-debug and --strip-unneeded.
Also hook up the -V alias for objcopy.

Summary:
llvm-objcopy/strip support `--keep` (for sections) and `--keep-symbols` (for symbols). For consistency and clarity, rename `--keep` to `--keep-section`.
In fact, for GNU compatability, -K is --keep-symbol, so it's weird that the alias `-K` is not the same as the short-ish `--keep`.

Summary:
This change adds support for the GNU --target flag, which sets both --input-target and --output-target.
GNU objcopy doesn't do any checking for whether both --target and --{input,output}-target are used, and so it allows both, e.g. "--target A --output-target B" is equivalent to "--input-target A --output-target B" since the later command line flag would override earlier ones. This may be error prone, so I chose to implement it as an error if both are used. I'm not sure if anyone is actually using both.

Summary:
Implement --version for objcopy and strip.
I think there are LLVM utilities that automatically handle this, but that doesn't seem to work with custom parsing since this binary handles both objcopy and strip, so it uses custom parsing.

Third Attempt:
- Alignment issues resolved.
- zlib::isAvailable() detected.
- ArrayRef misuse fixed.
Usage:
llvm-objcopy --compress-debug-sections=zlib foo.o
llvm-objcopy --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu foo.o
In both cases the debug section contents is compressed with zlib. In the GNU
style case the header is the "ZLIB" magic string followed by the uint64 big-
endian decompressed size. In the non-GNU mode the header is the
Elf(32|64)_Chdr.
Decompression support is coming soon.

Summary:
Port GNU Objcopy -G/--keep-global-symbol(s).
This is slightly different than the already-implemented --globalize-symbol, which marks a symbol as global when copying. When --keep-global-symbol (alias -G) is used, *only* those symbols marked will stay global, and all other globals are demoted to local. (Also note that it doesn't *promote* a symbol to global). Additionally, there is a pluralized version of the flag --keep-global-symbols, which effectively applies --keep-global-symbol for every non-comment in a file.

Summary:
Add support for --rename-section flags from gnu objcopy.
Not all flags appear to have an effect for ELF objects, but allowing them would allow easier drop-in replacement. Other unrecognized flags are rejected.
This was only tested by comparing flags printed by "readelf -e <.o>" against the output of gnu vs llvm objcopy, it hasn't been tested to be valid beyond that.

Summary:
Add basic support for --rename-section=old=new to llvm-objcopy.
A full replacement for GNU objcopy requires also modifying flags (i.e. --rename-section=old=new,flag1,flag2); I'd like to keep that in a separate change to keep this simple.

This option just keeps being a problem and really needs to be implemented
in some fashion. Implementing it properly requires some kind of
"replaceSectionReference" method because all the existing links need to be
maintained. The desired behavior is just for allocated sections to become
NOBITS but actually implementing that is rather tricky due to the current
design of llvm-objcopy. However converting allocated sections to NOBITS is
just an optimization and not something debuggers need. Debuggers can debug
a stripped executable and take an unstripped executable for that stripped
executable as input. Additionally allocated sections account for a very
small part of debug binaries so this optimization is quite small. I propose
that for the time being we implement this as a NOP so that people can use
llvm-objcopy where they need to, just in a sub-optimal way.
This option has already blocked a lot of people and its currently blocking me.

To start the ball rolling this diff adds the initial bits for llvm-strip,
more features will be added incrementally over time.
