Summary:
This splits out a section in the command guide for llvm tools that can be used as replacements for GNU tools. For pages that didn't exist, I added stub pages that can be individually filled in by followup patches.

Tested by running `ninja docs-llvm-html` and inspecting locally.

+# llvm-readelf - a drop-in replacement for readelf
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+**llvm-readelf** [*options*]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+**llvm-readelf** is an alias for the [llvm-readobj](llvm-readobj.html) tool with
+a command-line interface and output style more closely resembling GNU
+**readelf**.
+
+Here are some of those differences:
+
+* Uses `--elf-output-style=GNU` by default.
+
+* Allows single-letter grouped flags (e.g. `llvm-readelf -SW` is the same as
+  `llvm-readelf -S -W`).
+
+* Allows use of `-s` as an alias for `--symbols` (versus `--section-headers` in
+  **llvm-readobj**) for GNU **readelf** compatibility.
+
+* Prevents use of `-sr`, `-sd`, `-st` and `-dt` **llvm-readobj** aliases, to
+  avoid conflicting with standard GNU **readelf** grouped flags.
