RFC: Add support for SHF_COMPRESSED

Subject: RFC: Add support for SHF_COMPRESSED
Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none

I am working on SHF_COMPRESSED support:

http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.sheader.html

We already have .zdebug* sections, which aren't compatible
with SHF_COMPRESSED scheme due to missing compression
header.   What section names should we use for SHF_COMPRESSED
debug sections.  Using .debug* or .zdebug*  will break existing tools.
I am thinking .zlibdebug*  or ..Zdebug*.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.
