It's generic enough that you could probably get away with implementing it for multiple file formats too (e.g. for ELF it would dump all SHT_STRTAB sections), but initially, you can just implement it for XCOFF. I'd use a switch name as simple as `--string-table` or possibly `--string-tables`.

Thanks, it's a good idea to implement the option for llvm-readobj. I will do this in the future.
As far as I know, there is a system tool `dump` under AIX (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.1?topic=d-dump-command), which can print the raw string table.

  bash-5.0$ yaml2obj llvm/test/tools/yaml2obj/XCOFF/long-symbol-name.yaml -o test.o
  bash-5.0$ dump -cv test.o 
  
  test.o:
  
                          ***String Table Information***
           Offset     Name
  
               4   .longname

However, the test in this patch can't dump the string table yet unless `llvm-readobj --string-table` is implemented.
