elf: support for ELF files with a large number of sections (#333)
* elf: implement support for ELF files with a large number of sections
As documented in the ELF specification [0] and reported in #330,
the number of sections (`e_shnum` member of the ELF header)
as well as the section table index of the section name string
table (`e_shstrndx` member) could exceed the SHN_LORESERVE
(0xff00) value. In this case, the members of the ELF header
are set to 0 or SHN_XINDEX (0xffff), respectively, and the
actual values are found in the inital entry of the section
header table (which is otherwise set to zeroes).
So far, the implementation of `elffile.num_sections()`
didn't handle these situations and simply reported that the
file contained 0 sections, and `scripts/readelf.py` presented
invalid values.
Fix it by following the specification more closely and
showing the corresponding correct values in `readelf.py`.

parent and set each child's ._parent to avoid O(n^2) walking.
A future commit will add other methods to instatiate a DIE that will
not set the _parent link as the DIE is instantiated.
This walk uses the knowledge that in a flattened tree a parents offset
will always be less than the childs.
The call to die.set_parent in compile_unit iter_DIE_children could be
removed to make the method private,, but it is free to set starting
from the top DIE. Alternativly make it an optional argument to
DIE creation.
* dwarf/dwarfinfo: APIs to lookup DIEs
Add APIs to lookup a DIE from: (a) a DIE reference class attribute
taking into account the attribute form, (b) from a lookup table entry
(NameLUTEntry) from a .pub_types or .pub_names section, or (c) directly
from a reference addresss (.debug_info offset) regardless of how it
was obtained.
Add a test that will lookup dies from pubnames and follow die by ref.
This is a simple test that exercises the new cache lookup
methods and provides a starting point on how to determine a
variables type.
For now raise NotImplemented exception for type signature lookup

{GNU,}HashSection: Implement symbol lookup (#290)
In super-stripped binaries, symbol tables can not be accessed
directly as we do not have section headers to find them. In
this case, we can already use the mandatory DynamicSegment
which provides methods for individual access and iteration
over symbols via a minimal implementation of symbol hash
sections which only provided the number of symbols so far.
As we can also directly look up symbols via the hash table,
let's implement this functionality as well.
The code is based on @rhelmot's implementation as discussed
in #219, with some changes around reading the hash parameters.
For supporting individual symbol lookup, we also need the
corresponding symbol table to get the Symbol objects if the
matching hash was found in the hash section. In regular ELF
files, the symbol table is denoted by the section index
provided in the sh_link field of the hash section and
automatically created when building the hash section, for
super-stripped binaries we can use the DynamicSegment (which
needs to be present in any case) as the symbol table as it
also provides a get_symbol() method relying on other ways to
determine the list of symbols. Both of these variants can be
seen in the improved test_hash.py file.
The hash tables are implemented in a base class which does not
derive from the Section class in order to allow instantiation
even if no section headers are present in the underlying file.

Add resilience for degenerate cases present in files with only debug information (#287)
Some ELF files which contain only debug symbols have important sections present in the section table but marked as NOBITS instead of PROGBITS. Attempting to extract the segments can lead to crashes through parsing invalid data.
The first patch modifies the dynamic segment/section specifically to add a flag for this case, since it seems to assume that there will always be at least one entry, DT_NULL.
The second patch modifies the segment code more generally to return a dummy answer for what data it holds. The actual way that this change prevents a crash is while trying to parse .eh_frame when it is in fact NOBITS - originally I had a more targeted patch, but decided that it was important enough to do more generally

ref_addr size changed between v2 and v3 - take 2 (#273)
In DWARF 2, the DW_FORM_ref_addr format matches the target address size, while in DWARF3+ it matches the bitness of the CU record. Here are the relevant fragments from the spec, part 7:
v2:
The second type of reference is the address of any debugging information entry within the same executable or shared object; it may refer to an entry in a different compilation unit from the unit containing the reference. This type of reference (DW_FORM_ref_addr) is the size of an address on the target architecture; it is relocatable in a relocatable object file and relocated in an executable file or shared object.
v3:
The second type of reference can identify any debugging information entry within a program; in particular, it may refer to an entry in a different compilation unit from the unit containing the reference, and may refer to an entry in a different shared object. This type of reference (DW_FORM_ref_addr) is an offset from the beginning of the .debug_info section of the target executable or shared object; it is relocatable in a relocatable object file and frequently relocated in an executable file or shared object. For references from one shared object or static executable file to another, the relocation and identification of the target object must be performed by the consumer. In the 32-bit DWARF format, this offset is a 4-byte unsigned value; in the 64-bit DWARF format, it is an 8-byte unsigned value (see Section 7.4).
If elftools encounters 32-bit DWARF v2 targeting a 64-bit architecture, it will misparse DW_FORM_ref_addr and crash downstream.
I encountered this in an iOS binary from 2017, built with Xcode several versions ago for ARM64. This probably never came up before because by the time 64 bit code became relevant, most toolchains would generate DWARF 3 or newer.

segments.py: fix TLS checks in section_in_segment() (#275)
While the comment in section_in_segment() suggests that the
logic follows the logic inside ELF_SECTION_IN_SEGMENT_1 with
the strict parameter set, all of the checks in the binutils
macro are written so that they must succeed for the section
to be contained in the current segment. In our implementation,
however, the checks were not properly negated.
This showed in the case of .tdata and .tbss which did not
appear in the section to segment mapping (these sections are
found in glibc, for example).
Fix it up by aligning the logic more closely to the binutils
macro by implementing the same logic and returning False only
if the checks fail. Additionally, introduce the third check
from the upstream binutils which checks the combination of
SHT_ALLOC sections and PT_LOAD-like segments.
Furthermore, in the original check, the PT_GNU_RELRO type was
misspelled with a 0 (zero) instead of an O so this check
could never have worked.

Improve symbol table handling in DynamicSegment (#219)
dynamic: parse DT_{GNU_}HASH for number of symbols
In ultra-stripped binaries we can find the symbol table by
parsing the dynamic segment and using the pointer in the
DT_SYMTAB tag as the base address. However, we don't know
anything about the number of symbols in the symbol table.
Earlier, this code relied on finding the closest pointer
value bigger than the base address of the symbol table. In
PIE executables and shared libraries however this method
could break as the pointer value for DT_SYMTAB is in the same
range as things like DT_RELASZ or DT_STRSZ, leading to a too
small number of symbols returned by iter_symbols().
The crashpad project has implemented a different strategy to
find the number of symbols: parsing the symbol lookup hash
tables (see [0]) as every symbol must have a corresponding
entry in the hash table. This commit implements this
behaviour for DynamicSegment, leaving the old code as a
backup if neither DT_HASH or DT_GNU_HASH tags have been
found.
For DT_HASH type tables, it is quite easy as the header
already contains the number of entries. For DT_GNU_HASH
things are a bit more complicated as we need to work forward
from the highest symbol referenced in the header (a good
explanation of the format can be found at [1]).

* dynamic: provide more functions for symbol access
So far, the DynamicSegment only provided a method to iterate
over all symbols but for some use cases it might be useful to
use the recovered symbol table more like a normal
SymbolTableSection.
To this end, provide get_symbol(index) to fetch a symbol by
its index, num_symbols() to get the total number of symbols
and get_symbol_by_name(name) to look for a list of symbols
with a given name.
