<pre>llvm-objcopy --dump-section is run after removing and adding of sections. This
is incorrect, since GNU objcopy runs it before. The GNU behaviour also
intuitively makes sense to me: to "extract" a section (i.e. dump and remove),
it should be one operation. However, llvm-objcopy does not allow this: if an
attempt is made to dump a section in the same invocation as it is removed,
llvm-objcopy emits an error saying the section can't be found.
Similarly, dumping a newly added section should not be allowed to match GNU
(i.e. --dump-section .data=data.txt --add-section .data=from.txt should emit an
error).</pre>
