Handle merged strtab/shstrtab string tables in strip and unstrip. ELF files can share the section header string table (e_shstrndx) with the symtab .strtab section. That might in some cases save a bit of space since symbols and sections might share some (sub)strings. To handle that eu-strip just needs to not unconditionally remove the .shstrtab section (it will be properly marked as used/unused as needed). eu-unstrip needs to make sure the section names are added to the strtab if it decides to rewrite that section. Also makes sure that eu-strip won't move around a SHT_NOBITS section that has SHF_ALLOC set. Although it is allowed to move such sections around, there is no benefit. And some tools might expect no allocated section to move around, not even a nobits section. It also makes it harder to do "roundtripping" sanity checks that make sure splitting a file with eu-strip and then reconstructed with eu-unstrip produce the same ELF file (as is done in the new run-strip-strmerge.sh). Introduces a somewhat large test generator elfstrmerge.c that will hopefully turn into a more generic string table merger program. Signed-off-by: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>
