Commit: Code Tidy: bfd/elf.c core note code

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Guys,

  I am applying the attached patch to tidy up the core note handling
  code in bfd/elf.c.  The patch does not add any new functionality,
  it just tidies things up.  In particular the patch:

    * Replaces repeated uses of a constant string with a #define,
      helping to eliminate possible future typographical errors
      and making the purpose of the string more obvious.
      
    * Replaces uses of strcmp() to test for string equality with a
      macro called streq(), making the code easier to read.

    * Replaces extended sequences of similar if..then statements
      with a static table and a simple loop, making it easier to
      add future core note types.  Plus the tables are alpha
      sorted, so it is easier to find a specific note type.

   Tested by compiling lots of differently targeted versions of the
   binutils and running the testsuites looking for regressions.

Cheers
  Nick
