gcc fucks up global variables with section attributes when they're used
in templated C++ code. The template instantiation "magic" kinda breaks
down (it's implemented through COMDAT in the linker, which clashes with
the section attribute.)
The workaround provides full runtime functionality, but the xref
extraction tool (xrelfo.py) won't work on C++ code compiled by GCC.
FWIW, clang gets this right.

This allows grabbing a list of all DEFUNs and their help texts through
the xref extraction mechanics.

This allows extracting a list of all log messages including their ECs
and autogenerated unique IDs for them.

This adds the machinery for cross reference points (hence "xref") for
things to be annotated with source code location or other metadata
and/or to be uniquely identified and found at runtime or by dissecting
executable files.
The extraction tool to walk down an ELF file is done and working but
needs some more cleanup and will be added in a separate commit.
