Summary

the facilities the ELF parsing code is separated from kldxref(8) into a
new internal library.

Bump __FreeBSD_version to facilitate buildworld BOOTSTRAPPING.

I think it would be easier to review if you moved the files out of kldxref and changed kldxref to use the library as part of this commit. Git might be able to follow history in that case, but with simple copies it is not coping it seems.

per jhb@'s suggestion.
