Follow-up to r371983. Referring to "this program" in the description of
the --version option in the documentation isn't exactly correct, because
the docs are not part of the program, and so "this program" doesn't
really refer to anything. This patch brings the other users of this
terminology into line with the new updates to llvm-size and
llvm-strings.

GNU objcopy documents that -B is only useful with architecture-less
input (i.e. "binary" or "ihex"). After D67144, -O defaults to -I, and
-B is essentially a NOP.
* If -O is binary/ihex, GNU objcopy ignores -B.
* If -O is elf*, -B provides the e_machine field in GNU objcopy.
So to convert a blob to an ELF, `-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` has to be specified.
`-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` creates an ELF with its
e_machine field set to EM_NONE in GNU objcopy, but a regular x86_64 ELF
in elftoolchain elfcopy. Follow the elftoolchain approach (ignoring -B)
to simplify code. Users that expect their command line portable should
specify -B.

Behaviour was recently added to this switch to strip debug sections too.
See r369761.
This change also makes the description for the --strip-unneeded switch
consistent between the two docs.

We briefly referred to being able to specify --target=binary without
explaining what binary input/output meant. This change adds a section on
this.

This patch addresses https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42183 by replacing
the stub markdown doc for llvm-objcopy with a full one describing the current
options available in llvm-objcopy.
