If one of the symbols processed by read_symbols() happens to have a
.cold variant with a name longer than objtool's MAX_NAME_LEN limit, the
build fails.

Avoid this problem by just using strndup() to copy the parent function's
name, rather than strncpy()ing it onto the stack.

<title>objtool: initialize all of struct elf</title>

Function elf_open_read() only zero initializes the initial part of
allocated struct elf; num_relocs member was recently added outside the
zeroed part so that it was left uninitialized, resulting in build failures
on some systems.

The partial initialization is a relic of times when struct elf had large
hash tables embedded. This is no longer the case so remove the trap and
initialize the whole structure instead.

<title>objtool: Skip reading DWARF section data</title>

<content type='text'>
Objtool doesn't use DWARF at all, and the DWARF sections' data take up a
lot of memory.  Skip reading them.

Note this only skips the DWARF base sections, not the rela sections.
The relas are needed because their symbol references may need to be
reindexed if any local symbols get added by elf_create_symbol().

Also note the DWARF data will eventually be read by libelf anyway, when
writing the object file.  But that's fine, the goal here is to reduce
*peak* memory usage, and the previous patch (which freed insn memory)
gave some breathing room.  So the allocation gets shifted to a later
time, resulting in lower peak memory usage.

With allyesconfig + CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO:

- Before: peak heap memory consumption: 29.93G
- After:  peak heap memory consumption: 25.47G
