The kpatch script is used to load live patches on production systems that may be stripped down, with binutils (which provides readelf) not installed while elfutils (which provides eu-readelf) is available. Add a get_module_section_string() helper that auto-detects the available tool at startup and uses the appropriate invocation for each. Other readelf usages in the build tooling (kpatch-build, lookup.c, test infrastructure) are left unchanged, as a compiler toolchain including binutils can reasonably be expected in a build environment.
