2019-12-13scripts/sorttable: Implement build-time ORC unwind table sortingShile Zhang1-5/+175
The ORC unwinder has two tables: .orc_unwind_ip and .orc_unwind, which need to be sorted for binary search. Previously this sorting was done during bootup. Sort them at build time to speed up booting. Add the ORC tables sorting in a parallel build process to speed up the build.

2019-12-13scripts/sorttable: Rename 'sortextable' to 'sorttable'Shile Zhang1-0/+210
Use a more generic name for additional table sorting usecases, such as the upcoming ORC table sorting feature. This tool is not tied to exception table sorting anymore. No functional changes intended.
