For the upcoming string table and arch section support we need to
modify the elf layout a bit. Instead of the segments, i.e. the guest's
memory contents, beeing the last area the section data will live at
the end of the file. This will allow us to write the section data
after all guest memory has been dumped which is important for the s390
PV dump support.

Ah! section_offset was actually added from commit e71d353360 ("dump:
Add more offset variables"), but unused until now. It's worth
explaining in the commit message.

I think I'll just move it to this patch so the previous one really only 
does re-ordering and doesn't introduce new struct members.
