New option for objcopy --update-section allows the contents of a section
to be updated while maintaining the section flags, and, for ELF files,
the section to segment mapping.
New test uses --dump-section and --update-section to check that a
section can be made larger and smaller with an update.

--all option which displays text from anywhere in the input file(s). The
default used to be --data, which only displays text from loadable data sections,
but this requires the use of the BFD library. Since the BFD library almost
certainly still contains buffer overrun and/or memory corruption bugs, and
since the strings program is often used to examine malicious code, it was
decided that the --data option option represents a possible security risk.
