Add a 'PACKAGE_KEEP_SECTIONS' variable to keep some specific ELF sections
while stripping binaries and libraries.

That one can then be used to keep the .debug_frame section around for
example, this way:

PACKAGE_KEEP_SECTIONS = ".debug_frame"

By using libunwind + minidebuginfo, that provides a way for users to get
debug_frame based backtraces on target.
