objtool: Skip reading DWARF section data

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.

The GElf_Rel[a] structs have more similarities than differences. It's

duplicated code.

Also, at least for now we only ever create rela sections, so simplify
the relocation creation code to be rela-only.
