[Impact]

 * New architecture support in xenial where there are FTBS (e.g.; armhf)
 * Ability to patch go binaries built and linked with the golang toolchain.
 * The new code adds logic to reorder Program Headers appropriately.

[Test Case]

 * Use snapcraft's test suite which is a heavy user of patchelf.
 * snapcraft's test suite on the new architectures
 * exploratory testing of patchelf.

[Regression Potential]

 * Minimal possibility of patching to break on obscure binaries, snapcraft is the only tool depending on patchelf
   in the archive.

[Other Info]

 * NixOS upstream https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf
 * Current version in bionic: 0.9
 * Current version in xenial: 0.8. With broken builds for armhf and s390x
