pahole -J uses libelf directly when updating a .BTF section. However, it uses llvm-objcopy to add .BTF sections. This commit switches to using libelf for both cases. This eliminates pahole's dependency on llvm-objcopy. One unfortunate side-effect is that vmlinux actually increases in size. It seems that llvm-objcopy modifies the .strtab section, discarding many strings. I speculate that is it discarding strings not referenced from .symtab and updating the references therein. Layout is left completely up to libelf and existing section offsets are likely to change.
