New minor version.

Version 0.196 "Split Personality"

debuginfod: The $DEBUGINFOD_TIMEOUT environment variable is now enforced
            when establishing a connection to a server.

libdw: New functions dwarf_begin_type, dwarf_begin_elf_type and
       dwarf_get_type plus new enum Dwarf_Type.  Used to select between
       plain DWARF, split DWARF (.dwo/.dwp) and GNU LTO when opening a
       file.

       Added support for DWARF5 supplementary files (.debug_sup) and
       associated DW_FORM_ref_sup4/8 and DW_FORM_strp_sup forms.

       Added support for split DWARF debug data when contained in the
       same file as the skeleton.

libdwelf: New functions dwelf_dwarf_debug_sup and dwelf_dwarf_debug_dwp
          for querying .debug_sup and .debug_dwp section data.

libdwfl: Now correctly handles Linux kernel module sections that are
         not present in sysfs.

libdwfl_stacktrace: New functions dwflst_arch_from_uname,
                    dwflst_arch_expected_frame_nregs,
                    dwflst_arch_sp_dwarf_reg and dwflst_arch_sp_perf_reg
                    providing per-architecture constants.  The
                    libdwfl_stacktrace interface is experimental and may
                    be subject to API/ABI changes.

stackprof: New profiling tool for collecting systemwide stacktrace
           profiles.  Replaces the eu-stacktrace tool.  Requires
           a C++20 capable compiler.

stacktrace: This experimental tool has been removed and replaced with
            eu-stackprof.

srcfiles: Now handles CU names and files from split DWARF.

strip: Fixed bug where a section's sh_link or sh_info reference could
       be missing from the debug file.

version.h: New macro _ELFUTILS_THREAD_SAFE added to <elfutils/version.h>.
           Defined to 1 when the elfutils libraries are built with thread
           safety support enabled.  Otherwise it is left undefined.
           Thread safety support is experimental and is not yet officially
           supported.
