GNU and Oracle libelf implementations added support for section
compression, intended to reduce the size of DWARF debug info (which
might be an order of magnitude larger than the code).
There are two compressed ELF section formats:
1. Old GNU - sections are renmaed to start with 'z'. Section contains
a magic number, uncompressed size, and compressed data.
2. Oracle and New GNU - compressed sections use the SHF_COMPRESSED flag.
The compression header contains the compression type, uncompressed
size, and uncompressed alignment.
The second style is preferred and this change implements only that one.

- Make sure that only TLS sections are sorted into TLS segment.
- Fixed multiple errors in "Section to Segment mapping".
- Man page updates

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.

The main problem was bitrot after elftoolchain being swapped in for the
GNU toolchain.
This also reworks how the list of 'host allowed' libraries is determined
to only allow INTERNALLIBs, which is needed for libelftc to come in.
For usr.bin/readelf use the same hack, as libelf and libdward, to bring in
the needed sys/ headers for host builds. This has not yet been a problem due
to readelf not being built as a host tool in buildworld. This is possible
in the meta build though when building the toolchain.

Tracking these leads to situations where meta mode will consider the
file to be out of date if /bin/sh or /bin/ln are newer than the source
file. There's no reason for meta mode to do this as make is already
handling the rebuild dependency fine.

properly include sys/ headers from the source tree instead of the
host.
These patches are also applied to libdwarf since libdwarf requires
the same sys/ headers as libelf.
It is obvious that its modification time will change with each such file
builded.
This bug cause whole libelf to rebuild itself each second make run
(and relink that files on each first make run) in the loop.
When building libelf in the bootstrap stage this would include the tree
versions of, for example, sys/_types.h. This would work as long as the
tree's version of this file was close enough to the system's version of
the file. If, however, there was a change in the tree such that the location
of a typedef was moved this would cause problems. In this case the version
of sys/_types.h in the tree no longer defines __wchar_t and expects it to
to be defined in machine/_types.h, however we pick up machine/_types.h from
the system and find it is not defined there. The solution is to restrict the
parts of sys er include from the tree to those that are needed.
This fixes the recent Tinderbox failure.

Similar to libexec/, do the same with lib/. Make WARNS=6 the norm and
lower it when needed.
I'm setting WARNS?=0 for secure/. It seems secure/ includes the

Most of the code there is contributed anyway.

structure are technically `out of bounds' for an application program
per the ELF(3) API, but we've seen applications that initialize
a new Ehdr structure using memcpy(), messing up the library's
invariants. [1]

templates to wrap an `#if __FreeBSD_version >= NNN'/`#endif' pair
around the generated code for each ELF data type, where `NNN' is
the OS version where the ELF type was added to the source tree.
This change allows cross-builds of old sources on newer FreeBSD
systems to work correctly.
