The Linux kernel can dump memory tag segments to a core file, one segment
per mapped range. The format and documentation can be found in the Linux
kernel tree [1].
The following patch adjusts bfd and binutils so they can handle this new
segment type and display it accordingly. It also adds code required so GDB
can properly read/dump core file data containing memory tags.
Upon reading, each segment that contains memory tags gets mapped to a
section named "memtag". These sections will be used by GDB to lookup the tag
data. There can be multiple such sections with the same name, and they are not
numbered to simplify GDB's handling and lookup.
There is another patch for GDB that enables both reading
and dumping of memory tag segments.
Tested on aarch64-linux Ubuntu 20.04.

Until we update the recommended versions of autoconf/automake, files
should be regenerated with automake-1.15.1 and autoconf-2.69. That's
not because we think those versions are golden, and newer versions are
bad. It's simply because maintainers want to be able to update
configury files without trouble, and if someone regenerates files with
automake-1.16.5 then --enable-maintainer-mode builds will hit errors:
checking that generated files are newer than configure... configure.ac:26: error: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.15.1,
configure.ac:26: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:26: comes from Automake 1.16.5. You should recreate
configure.ac:26: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is probably too old.
Correcting this requires regenerating the files by hand.
Adding support for location and range lists for split-dwarf and dwarf-5.
Following issues are taken care.
1. Display of the index values for DW_FORM_loclistx and DW_FORM_rnglistx.
2. Display of .debug_loclists.dwo and .debug_rnglists.dwo sections.

and DW_FORM_rnglistx for .dwo files.

.debug_rnglists.dwo if exists.
(load_separate_debug_files): Load .debug_loclists and
.debug_rnglists if exists.
Include 2 entries in debug_displays table.
* dwarf.h (enum dwarf_section_display_enum): Include 2 entries.
This fixes an inconsequential objcopy memory leak. I'd normally
ignore reports of leaks like this one, that are merely one block or
fewer per section processed, since objcopy soon exits and frees all
memory. However I thought it worth providing support for allocating
memory on a bfd objalloc in objcopy and other utils.

Commit 04f096fb9e ("Move the xc16x target to the obsolete list") moved
the architecture from the "obsolete but still available" to the
"obsolete / support removed" list in config.bfd, making the architecture
impossible to enable (except maybe via "enable everything" options").
Note that I didn't touch */po/*.po{,t} on the assumption that these
would be updated by some (half)automatic means.
For clang compiled objects with dwarf-5, location list offset address dump
under DW_AT_location is corrected, where DW_FORM_loclistx is used. While

git commit 202be274a4 went a little wild in removing trailing spaces
in gas/testsuite/gas/i386/{secidx.d,secrel.d}, causing
x86_64-w64-mingw32 +FAIL: i386 secrel reloc
x86_64-w64-mingw32 +FAIL: i386 secidx reloc
I could have just replaced the trailing space, but let's fix the
objdump output instead. Touches lots of testsuite files.
Requiring C99 means that uses of bfd_uint64_t can be replaced with
uint64_t, and similarly for bfd_int64_t, BFD_HOST_U_64_BIT, and
BFD_HOST_64_BIT. This patch does that, removes #ifdef BFD_HOST_*
and tidies a few places that print 64-bit values.
The fix here is to pass "section" down to read_and_display_attr_value.
The test in read_and_display_attr_value is a little bit of hardening.
