This is a split patch of D115862 which adds a --bits-endian option to
extract-section to make it possible to print bits in specified endianness.
It means that we can print instruction encoding of some targets like LoongArch
as bits[0] to bits[31] from right to left by specifing --bits-endian little.

read_raw_stdin() was opening a file in binary mode, but Popen
was being told to use text mode (universal_newlines). This is
benign on Python 2 but an error on Python 3.

And a small utilities -- extract-section.py -- that helps extracting
specific object file section and printing in textual format. This
utility is just a workaround for tests inside `Encoding`. Hopefully in
the future we can replace dependencies in those tests with existing tools
(e.g. llvm-readobj). Please refer to this bug for more context:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49245
Note that since we don't have AsmParser for now, we are testing the MC
part using MIR as input and put those tests under the `Encoding` folder.
In the future when AsmParser (and disassembler) is finished, those tests
will be moved to `test/MC/M68k`.
