  [Object,ELF] Implement PN_XNUM extension for program headers (#162288)

In ELF file, there is a possible extended header for those phnum, shnum,
and shstrndx larger than the maximum of 16 bits. This extended header
use section 0 to record these fields in 32 bits. 

We implment this feature so that programs rely on
ELFFile::program_headers() can get the
correct number of segments. Also, the consumers don't have to check the
section 0 themselve, insteead, they can use the getPhNum() as an
alternative.
