libdw: dwarf_begin_elf should use elf_getshdrstrndx to get section names.
dwarf_begin_elf used the Ehdr e_shstrndx to get the shdr string table section. This does not work for ELF files with more than SHN_LORESERVE sections. Use elf_getshdrstrndx, and don't pass around the ehdr. Add a simple testcase that fails before the patch because dwarf_begin return an error. Signed-off-by: Mark Wielaard <mark@klomp.org>

+ * dwarf_begin_elf.c (check_section): Drop ehdr argument, add and
+ use shstrndx argument.
+ (global_read): Likewise.
+ (scngrp_read): Likewise.
+ (dwarf_begin_elf): Call elf_getshdrstrndx. Pass shstrndx to
+ global_read or scngrp_read.
