Nick Alcock fd86991bc5 objdump: get CTF parent importing right
The linker emits CTF into a single section named .ctf, which is a CTF
archive where the default member (itself named ".ctf", or simply NULL)
is the parent of all other members.  Teach objdump to look for this by
default, rather than only trying to do it if a specific CTF parent
section was specified.  (If no parent name is specified, we get the .ctf
member from the same section as everything else, which matches what the
linker generates.)

binutils/
	* objdump.c (dump_ctf): Use the default CTF archive member as the
	parent even when no parent section is specified.
	(dump_ctf_archive_member): Only import from the parent
	if this is not the default ".ctf" member.

@c This file contains the entry for the --ctf, --ctf-parent, --ctf-symbols, -and
@c --ctf-strings options that are common to both readelf and objdump.
@item --ctf=@var{section}
@cindex CTF
@cindex Compact Type Format
Display the contents of the specified CTF section. CTF sections themselves
contain many subsections, all of which are displayed in order.
@item --ctf-parent=@var{section}
Specify the name of another section from which the CTF dictionary can inherit
types. (If none is specified, we assume the CTF dictionary inherits types
from the default-named member of the archive contained within this section.)
