GNU uses a different hashing function compared to the sys-V standard function already provided in libObject. This is already used internally in LLD for generating synthetic sections. This patch simply extracts this definition and makes it availible to other users of `libObject`. This is done in preparation for supporting symbol name lookups via the GNU hash table.
