Commit: objcopy: Add --dump-section option

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Guys,

  I am applying the attached patch to add a new command line option to
  objcopy: --dump-section.  This option is the inverse of --add-section
  in that it dumps the contents of a specified section to a specified
  file.  The dump is just a raw copy of the contents of the section.  It
  is not formatted in any way.  This is useful if the section cannot be
  copied via the --only-section option, or if it needs to be passed to a
  --add-section option later on.

Cheers
  Nick
