[Xen-devel] [livepatch-build-tools part2 v2 5/6] create-diff-object: Add new entries to special sections array array

[Pawel Wieczorkiewicz <wipawel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Handle .livepatch.hooks* and .altinstr_replacement sections as the
special sections with assigned group_size resolution function.
By default each .livepatch.hooks* sections' entry is 8 bytes long (a
pointer). The .altinstr_replacement section has undefined group_size.

Allow to specify different .livepatch.hooks* section entry size using
shell environment variable HOOK_STRUCT_SIZE.

v2:
* Applied suggestions from Ross and neccessary changes enforced by
  previous patch of the series:
  - fixed indentation
  - used log_debug() instead of printf()
  - added aux. function undefined_group_size() returning 0 for a
    undefined group_size
  - added .altinstr_replacement to the special_sections array and
    fixed its group_size to undefined (0).
