Update to ELF Tool Chain r3668

Highlights:
- Make sure that only TLS sections are sorted into TLS segment.
- Fixed multiple errors in "Section to Segment mapping".
- Man page updates
- ar improvements
- elfcopy: avoid filter_reloc uninitialized variable for rela
- elfcopy: avoid stripping relocations from static binaries
- readelf: avoid printing directory in front of absolute path
- readelf: add NT_FREEBSD_FEATURE_CTL FreeBSD note type
- test improvements

NOTES:

Some of these changes originated in FreeBSD and simply reduce diffs
between contrib and vendor.

ELF Tool Chain ar is not (currently) used in FreeBSD, and there are
improvements in both FreeBSD and ELF Tool Chain ar that are not in
the other.

Fix objcopy for little-endian MIPS64 objects.

Fix objcopy for little-endian MIPS64 objects.

MIPS64 does not store the 'r_info' field of a relocation table entry as
a 64-bit value consisting of a 32-bit symbol index in the high 32 bits
and a 32-bit type in the low 32 bits as on other architectures. Instead,
the 64-bit 'r_info' field is really a 32-bit symbol index followed by four
individual byte type fields. For big-endian MIPS64, treating this as a
64-bit integer happens to be compatible with the layout expected by other
architectures (symbol index in upper 32-bits of resulting "native" 64-bit
integer). However, for little-endian MIPS64 the parsed 64-bit integer
contains the symbol index in the low 32 bits and the 4 individual byte
type fields in the upper 32-bits (but as if the upper 32-bits were
byte-swapped).

To cope, add two helper routines in gelf_getrel.c to translate between the
correct native 'r_info' value and the value obtained after the normal
byte-swap translation. Use these routines in gelf_getrel(), gelf_getrela(),
gelf_update_rel(), and gelf_update_rela(). This fixes 'readelf -r' on
little-endian MIPS64 objects which was previously decoding incorrect
relocations as well as 'objcopy: invalid symbox index' warnings from
objcopy when extracting debug symbols from kernel modules.

Even with this fixed, objcopy was still crashing when trying to extract
debug symbols from little-endian MIPS64 modules. The workaround in
gelf_*rel*() depends on the current ELF object having a valid ELF header
so that the 'e_machine' field can be compared against EM_MIPS. objcopy
was parsing the relocation entries to possibly rewrite the 'r_info' fields
in the update_relocs() function before writing the initial ELF header to
the destination object file. Move the initial write of the ELF header
earlier before copy_contents() so that update_relocs() uses the correct
symbol index values.

Note that this change should really go upstream. The binutils readelf
source has a similar hack for MIPS64EL though I implemented this version
from scratch using the MIPS64 ABI PDF as a reference.

Merge from projects/elftoolchain: Upgrade libelf and libdwarf to newer
versions from elftoolchain upstream (r2974). Convert ctfconvert to
use the APIs from the new libdwarf and make ctfconvert work with Clang
3.4.

__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1100006.

A list of notable changes:

[libelf]

* The old libelf source code in lib/libelf has been removed.
Instead, the new libelf is built from contrib/elftoolchain/libelf.
* Manual pages are largely improved.
* Internal implementation was refactored and improved for better
correctness and portability.
* Fixed a few memory leaks.
* Extended with extension APIs `elf_open()` and `elf_openmemory()`.
These APIs are similar to `elf_begin()` and `elf_memory()`
respectively, except that they return an ELF descriptor of kind
`ELF_K_NONE` instead of an error if the object being opened could
not be parsed.
* Implement support for translating sections of type ELF_T_VDEF and
ELF_T_VNEED.
* Improve `elf_update()` to check that the executable header, the
program header table, section contents and the section header table
do not overlap, and to ensure that gaps between extents are
filled with the fill character specified by `elf_fill()`.
* Allow `Elf_Data` descriptors to have types and alignments differing
from their containing section.
* Remove functionality controlled by `LIBELF_TEST_HOOKS`.
* Support processing of BSD-flavor archives.
* Add knowledge of section types `SHT_GNU_ATTRIBUTES` and
`SHT_GNU_LIBLIST`.
* Use elftoolchain style symbol versioning.
* Shared library version is bumped.

[libdwarf]

* The old libdwarf source code in lib/libdwarf has been removed.
Instead, the new libdwarf is built from contrib/elftoolchain/libdwarf.
* Support full DWARF3 and partial DWARF4 parsing.
* Support DWARF2 generation.
* Support for DWARF line number, call frame, location expression,
macro info and address ranges, among other things.
* The APIs for the new libdwarf are mostly compatible with the widely
used LGPL libdwarf. Some of the incompatible APIs from the old
libdwarf are kept as its own extensions. All the APIs are documented.
* Use elftoolchain style symbol versioning.
* Shared library version is bumped.

[ctfconvert]

* Switch to the APIs from the new libdwarf.
* Improve die_mem_offset() so that DW_AT_data_member_location attributes
generated by Clang 3.4 can be handled properly.
* Make use of DW_AT_byte_size attribute of the member DIE to calculate
the bits occupied by the member's type, without actually resolving
the type. This way ctfconvert can deal with the case that Clang 3.4
sometimes emits DIE for struct/union member before emitting the DIE
for the type of that member.
