[PATCH v2] readelf: Handle 0 sh_entsize of GOT sections for x86

Some linker sets sh_entsize to 0 on .got and .got.plt sections, for
example, x86-64 Google chrome browser:
$ readelf -SW /opt/google/chrome/chrome | grep got
[27] .got PROGBITS 000000000fb29fc0 fb27fc0 001be0 00 WA 0 0 8
[28] .got.plt PROGBITS 000000000fb2bba0 fb29ba0 0029a8 00 WA 0 0 8
$
If sh_entsize of GOT sections is 0, assume 4 for i386 and 8 for ELFCLASS64
or x86-64. Skip with a warning for ELFCLASS32 which may use 8, like x32.

of GOT sections for i386 and x86-64.
