Series dump: Add arch section and s390x PV dump | expand

For the upcoming string table and arch section support we need to
modify the elf layout a bit. Instead of the segments, i.e. the guest's
memory contents, beeing the last area the section data will live at
the end of the file. This will allow us to write the section data
after all guest memory has been dumped which is important for the s390
PV dump support.

Maybe introduce back section_offset in a different patch.

Either way,

You swapped the headers in patch 8, you just fixing up the elf header in this patch, right?
Also I don't understand the reason for swapping the headers.
And the comment diagram in dump_begin still reflects the old ordering.

You don't need this, do you? s->phdr_num is the correct value, it's the value
in the elf header that gets adjusted.
