H.J. Lu 151411f8af Add SHF_COMPRESSED support to gas and objcopy
This patch adds --compress-debug-sections={none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi}
options to gas and objcopy for ELF files. They control how DWARF debug
sections are compressed.  --compress-debug-sections=none is equivalent to
--nocompress-debug-sections.  --compress-debug-sections=zlib and
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu are equivalent to
--compress-debug-sections.  --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi compresses
DWARF debug sections with SHF_COMPRESSED from the ELF ABI.  No linker
changes are required to support SHF_COMPRESSED.
