544de91e99 Fix managing weak symbols.
Weak symbols where not being managed correctly. The symbols table
is now a class with externals and weaks as separate symtabs so
the externals can be searched first then the weaks and if not
found an unresolved error is raised. This was found creating
a libbsdport RAP file where the drivers in the all driver table
resolved to the weak symbols and so linking in nothing.

Fixing the weak symbols as found in the libbsdport library
triggered a new resolver bug. The object files now contain the
resolver state and this is used to determine if an object file
has been resolved or is currently being resolved avoiding
rescursive loops with dependent object files.

The resolver trace output is a little easier to read.

Fix the size of the section calculated in image::lay_out. It did not
correctly adjust for alignment. Make the sections being written
correctly align.

42f766f0ca Relocation fixes.
These changes implement a suitable relocation output in the image.
The code is still not working 100% but these changes are a big
improvement.

90d8d43e4b Add support to demand load relocation records.
Support has been added to load relocation record on demand. The
relocation records are not read when the object file is first
opened and read. They are read only when being written to the
output file. This save loading lots of records into memory
from libraries to be thrown away.

The RAP format now supports writing out relocation records.

c6b714f92f Load the sections by default. It is not much extra overhead.
Clean up the error messages.
Remove the copy constructor call on creating sections.
Change the symbols trace to the new symbols trace level.

fd8a2c559f Add support to write a metadata ELF file.
This also adds support to the ELF classes that wrap libelf. While
this is now done and seems to work I will not be using an ELF
file to hold the metadata after all.

977c3de534 Refactor the ELF support to allow ELF write suppport.
The refactoring allows better reuse of the ELF support and cleans up
some hacks from the generic file and archive handling improving the
separation of the file handling from the file format, ie ELF. The
handling of ELF object files and ELF object files inside archives
is cleaner.

The refactor cleaned up the symbol handling where the symbols now
reside in the ELF file object and references are take in symbol
pointer containers and symbol table containers.

The main purpose of the refactor is to allow support for creating
and writing ELF files.

Also added an rtems-syms command where special symbol support
can be added.
