readelf: Add --elf-section input option to inspect an embedded ELF file.
Some binaries might have (compressed) embedded ELF files inside a section.
The default section name for this is .gnu_debugdata. This normally
consists of just those sections needed to provide an auxiluary symbol
table. But can theoretically contain other (debug) sections. The new
--elf-section arguments makes it possible to easily inspect it as if it
is a normal ELF file. libdwfl takes care of automatically decompressing
any data in the section if necessary.

ELF input selection:
--elf-section[=SECTION] Use the named SECTION (default .gnu_debugdata)
as (compressed) ELF input data
