alignment.

Make our ELF64 type definitions match standards. In particular this
means:
o Remove Elf64_Quarter,
o Redefine Elf64_Half to be 16-bit,
o Redefine Elf64_Word to be 32-bit,
o Add Elf64_Xword and Elf64_Sxword for 64-bit entities,
o Use Elf_Size in MI code to abstract the difference between
Elf32_Word and Elf64_Word.
o Add Elf_Ssize as the signed counterpart of Elf_Size.

Explicitly pass in the relocation base and data offset into ef_reloc()
rather than relying on a trick that happens to work for the current
relocation schemes. Also add some comments and improve variable
naming.

Use a temporary void * variable to work around a strict aliasing
warning that gcc generates at -O2 and higher.

Add support for reading ELF relocatable object file format modules.
