[PATCH 02/10] backends: Use elf_getshdrstrndx to find .odp section in ppc64_init

The .odp section is found by name. But ppc64_init used the e_shstrndx
Ehdr field for that. This is wrong if the file contains more than
SHN_LORESERVE sections. Use elf_getshdrstrndx instead to find the
shstrtab section.
