util: add rmodtool for parsing ELF files to rmodules
The current implementation of creating rmodules relies on invoking the linker in a certain manner with the relocations overlaid on the BSS section. It's not really surprising that the linker doesn't always behave the way one wants depending on the linker used and the architecture. Instead, introduce rmodtool which takes an ELF file as an input, parses it, and creates a new ELF file in the format the rmodule loader expects.
