A means for avoiding tag number collisions under the "FDO" namespace.

glibc <elf.h> only covers a small subset of the note section names.  The
Solaris is probably not up to date, and we do not track FreeBSD and
NetBSD at all.  (FreeBSD definitely has a bunch of their own tags.)

We can add it to our own <elf.h>, but the extension mechanism with its
namespace mechanism means that we don't have to.

Thanks,
Florian
