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:
See binutils-gdb/bfd/elf.c, GNU objcopy also strips .stab* (STABS)
.line* (DWARF 1) .gnu.linkonce.wi.* (linkonce section for .debug_info) but
I'm not sure we need to be compatible with it.

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 patch is an update of an older patch that never landed
(see here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D42516)
Recently various users have run into this issue and it just 100%
has to be solved at this point. The main difference in this patch
is that I use gunzip instead of unzip which should hopefully allow
tests to pass. Please review this as if it is a new patch however.
I found some issues along the way and made some minor modifications.
The binary used in this patch for testing (a zip file to make it small)
can be found here:

Summary:
This option appears to have been dropped as part of the refactoring in
r331663. Unfortunately, if we want to use llvm-strip as a drop-in
replacement for strip, this option should still be available.

Per discussion on the generic-abi mailing list:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/generic-abi/MPr8TVtnVn4
An object file manipulation tool must either write out a symbol
table with the same number of entries as the original symbol table
and in the same order, or if this is impossible, refuse to operate
on the object file if it has unrecognized sections that are linked
to the symtab section. However, existing tools (namely GNU strip,
GNU objcopy and ld.{bfd,gold,lld} -r) do not comply with this at
present: they change symbol table indexes and set sh_link to 0 on
the unrecognized symtab-linked sections.
We intend to use the latter as a (temporary) signal that a tool has
operated on a proposed new symtab-linked section and invalidated the
symbol table indexes. However, llvm-objcopy currently keeps sh_link
pointing to the new symtab section. This patch changes llvm-objcopy
to set sh_link to 0 to match the behaviour of the other tools.

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.

This diff adds support for SHT_GROUP sections to llvm-objcopy.
Some sections are interrelated and comprise a group.
For example, a definition of an inline function might require,
in addition to the section containing its instructions,
a read-only data section containing literals referenced inside the function.
A section of the type SHT_GROUP contains the indices of the group members,
therefore, it needs to be updated whenever the indices change.
Similarly, the fields sh_link, sh_info should be recalculated as well.
