The object-readelf function in lib/lto.exp was extended to support regular expressions. Previously, it was limited to attribute checks using readelf -A. Now, it accepts a readelf option and a regex, matching the regex against the full readelf output. This allows for more flexible and comprehensive checks of object file metadata in LTO tests, including checks for notes and negative checks to ensure that a regex is not present in the output.
