Log:
Add a wrapper around llvm-objdump to look for indirect calls/jmps in x86 assembly.

Useful when looking for indirect calls/jmps the need mitigation
via retpoline or other mitigations for Spectre v2.

Feedback, extension, additional patches welcome.

+
+   Helpful to verify whether or not retpoline mitigations are catching
+   all of the indirect branches in a binary and telling you which
+   functions the remaining ones are in (assembly, etc).
+
+   Depends on llvm-objdump being in your path and is tied to the
+   dump format.
