This patch implements the functions required to identify and add as
alternatives all the possible destinations of the switch table.
This implementation relies on the new plugin introduced previously which
records information about the switch-table in a
.discard.switch_table_information section.

[J.T.: Update arch implementation to new prototypes,
Update switch table information section name,
Do some clean up,
Use the offset sign information,
Use the newly added rela to find the corresponding jump instruction]
