Adding elf_resolve_pattern_offsets function that looks up
offsets for symbols specified by pattern argument.
The 'pattern' argument allows wildcards (*?' supported).
Offsets are returned in allocated array together with its
size and needs to be released by the caller.

Adding elf_resolve_syms_offsets function that looks up
offsets for symbols specified in syms array argument.
Offsets are returned in allocated array with the 'cnt' size,
that needs to be released by the caller.

Adding elf symbol iterator object (and some functions) that follow
open-coded iterator pattern and some functions to ease up iterating
elf object symbols.
The idea is to iterate single symbol section with:
struct elf_sym_iter iter;
struct elf_sym *sym;
if (elf_sym_iter_new(&iter, elf, binary_path, SHT_DYNSYM))
goto error;
while ((sym = elf_sym_iter_next(&iter))) {
...
}
I considered opening the elf inside the iterator and iterate all symbol
sections, but then it gets more complicated wrt user checks for when
the next section is processed.
Plus side is the we don't need 'exit' function, because caller/user is
in charge of that.
The returned iterated symbol object from elf_sym_iter_next function
is placed inside the struct elf_sym_iter, so no extra allocation or
argument is needed.

Adding elf_open/elf_close functions and using it in
elf_find_func_offset_from_file function. It will be
used in following changes to save some common code.

Adding new elf object that will contain elf related functions.
There's no functional change.
