[Xen-devel] [livepatch-build-tools part2 2/6] common: Add is_referenced_section() helper function

[Pawel Wieczorkiewicz <wipawel@xxxxxxxxx>]

This function checks if given section has an included corresponding
RELA section and/or any of the symbols table symbols references the
section. Section associated symbols are ignored here as there is
always such a symbol for every section.
