.text.* are generated when using -ffunction-sections.

makes nm(1) to correctly identify the function symbols as N_TEXT.

found while debugging librsvg build error, where some symbols where not found by libtool(1) (which is using nm(1)).

This patch ensure that e_shentsize (sections header's size in bytes) is
big enough to fill at least one Elf_Shdr.

While here, inverts calloc() arguments to be calloc(nmemb, size),
according to fread() call after.

This problem was found with afl, with e_shentsize=1.

ELF weak symbols are _not_ like a.out indirect symbols. Nothing in ELF is,

Replace <sys/param.h> with <limits.h> and other less dirty headers where
possible. Annotate <sys/param.h> lines with their current reasons. Switch
to PATH_MAX, NGROUPS_MAX, HOST_NAME_MAX+1, LOGIN_NAME_MAX, etc. Change
MIN() and MAX() to local definitions of MINIMUM() and MAXIMUM() where
sensible to avoid pulling in the pollution. These are the files confirmed
through binary verification.

Support symbols in .tbss and .tdata ELF sections

With this change nm(1) prints the expected symbol type ('B' or 'D')
for variables in the .tbss and .tdata sections respectively, instead
of '?'. This would be what binutils do for non-automatic variables
that are marked as thread-local with the __thread attribute in GCC.

Also don't free known NULL values (*pnames and *psnames).
