objdump read_section_stabs

This function is used to read sections other than stabs, and there is
now another version of it that extracts different info from the bfd
section.  Rename it and return the bfd section instead of assorted
fields of the bfd section.

	* objcopy.c (read_section): Renamed from read_section_stabs.
	Delete size_ptr and entsize_ptr params, add contents param.
	Return asection pointer.  Don't unnecessarily free contents on
	failure from bfd_malloc_and_get_section.
	(find_stabs_section): Use read_section.
	(dump_ctf, dump_section_sframe): Likewise.
	(read_section_sframe): Delete.
