This relands #118157 with a fix for the use of an uninitialized
variable and additional tests.
The System V ABI
(https://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch5.pheader.html#note_section)
states that the note entries and their descriptor fields must be aligned
to 4 or 8 bytes for 32-bit or 64-bit objects respectively. In practice,
64-bit systems can use both alignments, with the actual format being
determined by the alignment of the segment. For example, the Linux
gABI extension (https://github.com/hjl-tools/linux-abi/wiki/linux-abi-draft.pdf)
contains a special note on this, see 2.1.7 "Alignment of Note Sections".
This patch adjusts the format of the generated notes to the specified
section alignment. Since `llvm-readobj` was fixed in a similar way in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D150022, "[Object] Fix handling of Elf_Nhdr
with sh_addralign=8", the generated notes can now be parsed
successfully by the tool.
