libdwelf: New function dwelf_elf_begin.
This introduces a new function dwelf_elf_begin which creates a (read-only)
ELF handle from a possibly compressed file handle or a file that start
with a linux kernel header. This can be used in eu-readelf to (re)open a
(pure) ELF.
eu-readelf uses libdwfl to relocate addresses in the original file in
case it is ET_REL. But to show the "raw" data it might need to (re)open
the file. Which could fail if the file was compressed. And produced an
obscure error message: "cannot create EBL handle".
This rewrites __libdw_open_file a little so that the given file handle
will never be closed (whether on success or failure) and introduces a
new internal function __libdw_open_elf that dwelf_elf_begin wraps.
