The errors coming from ELF.h are usually not very
useful because they are uninformative. This patch is a
first step to improve the situation.
I tested this patch with a run of check-llvm and found
that few messages are untested. In this patch, I did not
add more tests but marked all such cases with a "TODO" comment.
For all tested messages I extended the error text to
provide more details (see test cases changed).

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 patch gives elfabi the ability to read DT_NEEDED entries from ELF binaries
to populate NeededLibs in TextAPI's ELFStub.

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.

Although llvm-elfabi will attempt to read input files without needing the format to be manually specified, doing so has the potential to introduce extraneous errors that can hinder debugging (since multiple readers may fail in attempts to read the file). This change allows the input file format to be manually specified to force elfabi to use a single reader. This makes it easier to test and debug errors specific to a given reader.

This patch introduces the tool associated with the ELF implementation of
TextAPI (previously llvm-tapi, renamed for better distinction). This
tool will house a number of features related to enalysis and
manipulation of shared object's exposed interfaces. The first major
feature for this tool is support for producing binary stubs that are
useful for compile-time linking of shared objects. This patch introduces
beginnings of support for reading binary ELF objects to work towards
that goal.
Added:
- elfabi tool.
- support for reading architecture from a binary ELF file into an
ELFStub.
- Support for writing .tbe files.
