For the threaded code we want to access strings in tags at the same time
that the string table may grow in another thread making the previous
pointer invalid, so, to avoid excessive locking, use plain strings.
The way the tools work will either consume the just produced CU straight
away or keep just one copy of each data structure when we keep all CUs
in memory, so lets try stopping using strings_t for strings.

With the conversion of ->name members to plain char strings, no need
to use 'cu' to get the old string_t index and find the per-cu string
table.

It was never fully functional and now its getting in the way of further
improvements for loading/encoding BTF and loading DWARF.
Eventually we can use Oracle's libctf library to add an encoder.

It looked for an index into a string table, a string_t, but since for
multithreading we'd be growing the string table while looking up stuff,
we'd be looking at realloc'ed memory, so lets move to stable char
pointer strings.

Using the same command line option as 'make' and 'ninja': -j.
Unfortunately the argp parser in glibc expects a '=' for single letter
args, so it is:
$ pahole -j=10
or, like with 'make':
$ make --jobs=10
This is unwired at the moment, probably I'll reorder the patch, but for
testing, add it first.

The '-j' option, to generate detached BTF files wasn't published in any
tagged release, so leave it as just --btf_encode_detached and make '-j'
available for specifying the number of jobs/threads, as is the case with
'make -j', 'ninja -j', etc.

Paving the way for having multiple threads creating CUs and possibly
adding them to cus->cus.
The mutex will also be used to ask elfutils-libdwfl to read the next CU,
after a thread finishes reading one.
