Some CPUs are of an opposite data-endianness to other components in the
system. Sometimes elfs have the data sections layed out with this CPU
data-endianness accounting for when loaded via the CPU, so byte swaps
(relative to other system components) will occur.
The leading example, is ARM's BE32 mode, which is is basically LE with
address manipulation on half-word and byte accesses to access the
hw/byte reversed address. This means that word data is invariant
across LE and BE32. This also means that instructions are still LE.
The expectation is that the elf will be loaded via the CPU in this
endianness scheme, which means the data in the elf is reversed at
compile time.
As QEMU loads via the system memory directly, rather than the CPU, we
need a mechanism to reverse elf data endianness to implement this
possibility.

EM_MOXIE now has a proper assigned elf code. Use it. Register the old
interim value as EM_MOXIE_OLD and accept either in elf loading.

On s390, we would like to load our "BIOS" s390-ccw.img to the end of the
RAM. Therefor we need the possibility to relocate the ELF file so that
it can also run from different addresses. This patch adds the necessary
code to the QEMU ELF loader function.

Once upon a time, it was decided that qemu_realloc(ptr, 0) should
abort. Switching to glib retired that bright idea. A bit of code
that was added to cope with it (commit 3e372cf) is still around. Bury
it.

The existing load_elf() just returns -1 if it fails to load ELF. However
it could be smarter than this and tell more about the failure such as
wrong endianness or incompatible platform.
This adds additional return codes for wrong architecture, wrong
endianness and if the image is not ELF at all.
This adds a load_elf_strerror() helper to convert return codes into
string messages.
This fixes handling of what load_elf() returns for s390x, other
callers just check the return value for <0 and this remains unchanged.

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
