… now if a client requests segment data via get_data(), ELFIO creates a copy of data by reading over data stored in the matching segments. Signed-off-by: Sonal Santan <sonal.santan@amd.com>
…ading. This allows matching of sections to segments and skip loading of segment data if the data is already present in matched sections Signed-off-by: Sonal Santan <sonal.santan@amd.com>

segment::load_data()if the segment data is already stored in matching sections. This prevents memory duplication which otherwise leads to very large memory usage for ELF with large text/data.segment::get_data()usage, the segment loads the data from the matched sections on demand. Note that users of this API will not see any overall reduction in memory usage. Users are encouraged to get the data directly from sections to avoid data duplication.
