[llvm-objcopy] Add --compress-sections

--compress-sections is similar to --compress-debug-sections but applies

[llvm-objcopy] Add --compress-sections

--compress-sections is similar to --compress-debug-sections but applies
to arbitrary sections.

* `--compress-sections <section>=none`: decompress sections
* `--compress-sections <section>=[zlib|zstd]`: compress sections with zlib/zstd

Like `--remove-section`, the pattern is by default a glob, but a regex
when --regex is specified.

For `--remove-section` like options, `!` prevents matches and is not
dependent on ordering (see `ELF/wildcard-syntax.test`). Since
`--compress-sections a=zlib --compress-sections a=none` naturally allows
overriding, having an order-independent `!` would be confusing.
Therefore, `!` is disallowed.

Sections within a segment are effectively immutable. Report an error for
an attempt to (de)compress them. `SHF_ALLOC` sections in a relocatable
file can be compressed, but linkers usually reject them.

Note: Before this patch, a compressed relocation section is recognized
as a `RelocationSectionBase` as well and `removeSections` `!ToRemove(*ToRelSec)`
may incorrectly interpret a `CompressedSections` as `RelocationSectionBase`,
leading to ubsan failure for the new test. Fix this by setting
`OriginalFlags` in CompressedSection::CompressedSection.

[llvm-objcopy] --[de]compress-debug-sections: don't compress SHF_ALLOC sections, only decompress .debug sections

Simplify --[de]compress-debug-sections to make it easier to add custom section [de]compression.
Change the following two behaviors to match GNU objcopy.

* --compress-debug-sections compresses SHF_ALLOC sections while GNU
doesn't.
* --decompress-debug-sections decompresses non-debug sections while GNU
doesn't.
