v3: Use the libelf.h comment for elf_compress/elf_compress_gnu as
the DESCRIPTION.
Do not include ELFCOMPRESS_LOOS, ELFCOMPRESS_LOPROC, etc. as valid
compression algorithm types. Mention that OS and arch-specific
algorithm types aren't supported.

elf_getaroff currently returns ELF_C_NULL (0) to indicate that an error
occured (ex. the Elf descriptor is not associated with an archive).
However elf_getaroff is intended to return -1 if an error occurs.
eu-ar assumes -1 indicates an error and other libelf implementations
use -1 to indicate an e

Update return value description to reflect that elf_getaroff returns

Currently each archive descriptor maintains a single Elf_Arhdr for the
current archive member (as determined by elf_next or elf_rand) which is
returned by elf_getarhdr.
A single per-archive Elf_Arhdr is not ideal since elf_next and elf_rand
can invalidate an archive member's reference to its own E
