Subject: [PATCH] readelf: Update dynamic tag processing and validate section info

Count DT_RELR relocations using dynamic tags when section header isn't
used.  Ignore section sh_offset and sh_size if they are larger than file
size.

One side effect is that we now display

readelf: Warning: Ignore the out of range sh_offset value of
2199023261148 for section 17
readelf: Warning: Ignore the out of range sh_size value of 13 for
section 17 with sh_offset value of 2199023261148
...
  [17] .fini             PROGBITS        00000000000015dc 000000
000000 00  AX  0   0  4
...

instead of

...
  [17] .fini             PROGBITS        00000000000015dc 200000015dc
00000d 00  AX  0   0  4
...

and segfault.
