/* Compress or decompress the data of a section and adjust the section

elf_compress works by setting or clearing the SHF_COMPRESS flag
from the section Shdr and will encode or decode a Elf32_Chdr or
Elf64_Chdr at the start of the section data. elf_compress_gnu will
encode or decode any section, but is traditionally only used for
sections that have a name starting with ".debug" when
uncompressed or ".zdebug" when compressed and stores just the
uncompressed size. The GNU compression method is deprecated and
should only be used for legacy support.
elf_compress takes a compression type that should be either zero to
decompress or an ELFCOMPRESS algorithm to use for compression.
Currently ELFCOMPRESS_ZLIB and ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD are supported.
elf_compress_gnu will compress in the traditional GNU compression
format when compress is one and decompress the section data when
compress is zero.
The FLAGS argument can be zero or ELF_CHF_FORCE. If FLAGS contains
ELF_CHF_FORCE then it will always compress the section, even if
that would not reduce the size of the data section (including the
header). Otherwise elf_compress and elf_compress_gnu will compress
the section only if the total data size is reduced.
On successful compression or decompression the function returns
one. If (not forced) compression is requested and the data section
would not actually reduce in size, the section is not actually
compressed and zero is returned. Otherwise -1 is returned and
elf_errno is set.
It is an error to request compression for a section that already
has SHF_COMPRESSED set, or (for elf_compress) to request
decompression for an section that doesn't have SHF_COMPRESSED set.
If a section has SHF_COMPRESSED set then calling elf_compress_gnu
will result in an error. The section has to be decompressed first
using elf_compress. Calling elf_compress on a section compressed
with elf_compress_gnu is fine, but probably useless.
It is always an error to call these functions on SHT_NOBITS
sections or if the section has the SHF_ALLOC flag set.
elf_compress_gnu will not check whether the section name starts
with ".debug" or .zdebug". It is the responsibility of the caller
to make sure the deprecated GNU compression method is only called
on correctly named sections (and to change the name of the section
when using elf_compress_gnu).
All previous returned Shdrs and Elf_Data buffers are invalidated by
this call and should no longer be accessed.
Note that although this changes the header and data returned it
doesn't mark the section as dirty. To keep the changes when
calling elf_update the section has to be flagged ELF_F_DIRTY. */
