[docs][llvm-readobj] Add a note to options that do nothing in GNU output
--section-data, --section-relocations and --section-symbols have no effect for GNU style ouput. This patch changes the docs to point this out, as it has caught me out on a couple of occasions. See also https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42522. llvm-svn: 365221
