Log:
[llvm-objcopy]Allow llvm-objcopy to be used on an ELF file with no section headers

This patch fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41293 and
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41045. llvm-objcopy assumed that
it could always read a section header string table. This isn't the case
when the sections were previously all stripped, and the e_shstrndx field
was set to 0. This patch fixes this. It also fixes a double space in an
error message relating to this issue, and prevents llvm-objcopy from
adding extra space for non-existent section headers, meaning that
--strip-sections on the output of a previous --strip-sections run
produces identical output, simplifying the test.
