The ELF section classifier in sections_obj() only marked a section as
data when its name contained "data". As a result .dynstr (type
SHT_STRTAB, SHF_ALLOC) was flagged neither as data nor as containing
strings, so is_data_section() rejected it. Two problems followed:
- the string search (iz, and the default AUTO scan used by -A) skipped
.dynstr, so its strings were never listed (only izz, which scans the
whole file regardless of section flags, showed them);
- because no RZ_META_TYPE_STRING metadata was applied over the region,
the disassembler rendered the NUL-terminated symbol names as code,
e.g. on MIPS "_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_" decoded to bgtzl/ldr/jalx/...
Mark a section as containing strings when it is mapped into memory
(SHF_ALLOC) and is either a string table (SHT_STRTAB) or carries the
explicit SHF_STRINGS flag. The SHF_ALLOC restriction keeps the loaded
string tables (.dynstr) while leaving the non-allocated .strtab and
.shstrtab to izz, matching the "iz lists the loaded image" semantics.
This is architecture independent; MIPS was simply where the bad
disassembly was first noticed.

* RzBin/ELF: avoid the creation of useless flags at 0
Use UT64_MAX as an error value for addresses like symbols, imports,
sections, etc., and do not create flags for those because they are not
meaningful. This is useful for imports that do not have an address in
the virtual/file space and for non-alloc sections (e.g. .comment).
* Reduce recursion when analyzing function control-flow
* Jump table refactoring
* Use rz_ prefix for the API
* Use struct instead of long parameter list
* Add `analysis.jmp.tblmax` to configure maximun amount of cases to analyze
* Remove recursion
