[PATCH] readelf: objdump: sframe: fix dumping with section name

Fix PR binutils/33186 - No SFrame dump if section name is not .sframe

When no section name is given, ensure that the dumping routines are able
to dump a section of type SHT_GNU_SFRAME and not fail if the SFrame
section name is not ".sframe".

For objdump, in dump_dwarf_section (), use the match string of ".sframe"
to find the corresponding debug_displays[] item for SFrame section.
Doing this ensures that any call to dump_dwarf_section () with the
section pointing to the SFrame section (with name possibly different
from ".sframe") will successfully dump the SFrame section.

If the SFrame section is named anything but ".sframe", the desirable
behaviour is:

$ readelf -S sort | grep sframe
  [NN] .sframe2          GNU_SFRAME       0000000000NNNNNN  0000NNNN
$ objdump --sframe sort

sort:     file format elf64-x86-64

No .sframe section present

So, set dump_sframe_section_name to ".sframe" if user specifies no
section name.  In the error checking done in dump_sframe_section, add
the case when user specifies a valid section name but one that does not
contain SFrame section data.

Similar changes in readelf.

Add a test each for objdump and readelf to dump a renamed section.  Use
gas_sframe_check to limit the execution of these tests only when a gas
supporting SFrame format is present.

	PR binutils/33186
	* objdump.c (dump_dwarf_section): Set match to ".sframe" which
	corresponds to the name in the debug_displays[] entry for
	SFrame section.
	(dump_sframe_section): Check if the user specified section name
	contains SFrame data.
	(main): Set default section name to ".sframe".
	* readelf.c (display_debug_section): Adjust checks to find the
	debug_diplay[] item for the input SFrame section in the arg.
