This changes the output of `llvm-readelf -n` from:
```
Displaying notes found at file offset 0x<...> with length 0x<...>:
```
to:
```
Displaying notes found in: .note.foo
```
And similarly, adds a `Name:` field to the `llvm-readobj -n` output for notes.
This change not only increases GNU compatibility, it also makes it much easier to read notes. Note that we still fall back to printing the file offset/length in cases where we don't have a section name, such as when printing notes in program headers or printing notes in a partially stripped file (GNU readelf does the same).
Fixes llvm.org/PR41339.

Summary:
Fix llvm-objcopy to add .note sections as SHT_NOTEs. GNU objcopy overrides section flags for special sections. For `.note` sections (with the exception of `.note.GNU-stack`), SHT_NOTE is used.
Many other sections are special cased by libbfd, but `.note` is the only special section I can seem to find being used with objcopy --add-section.
See `.note` in context of the full list of special sections here: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=bfd/elf.c;h=eb3e1828e9c651678b95a1dcbc3b124783d1d2be;hb=HEAD#l2675
