Previously, we supported only SHF_COMPRESSED sections because it's
new and it's the ELF standard. But there are object files compressed
in the GNU style out there, so we had to support it.
Sections compressed in the GNU style start with ".zdebug_" and
contain different headers than the ELF standard's one. In this
patch, getRawCompressedData is responsible to handle it.
A tricky thing about GNU-style compressed sections is that we have
to rename them when creating output sections. ".zdebug_" prefix
implies the section is compressed. We need to rename ".zdebug_"
".debug" because our output sections are not compressed.
We do that in this patch.

Previously, ch_size was read in host byte order, so if a host and
a target are different in byte order, we would produce a corrupted
output.

Patch implements support of zlib style compressed sections.
SHF_COMPRESSED flag is used to recognize that decompression is required.
After that decompression is performed and flag is removed from output.
