Factor out the validation of section names.
There are two behavioral changes:
1. Previously, we did not validate non-SHF_ALLOC sections.
This may have once been safe, as find_sec skips non-SHF_ALLOC
sections, but find_any_sec, which will be used to load BTF if that is
enabled, ignores the SHF_ALLOC flag. Since there's no need to support
invalid section names, validate all of them, not just SHF_ALLOC
sections.
2. Section names were validated *after* accessing them for the purposes
of detecting ".modinfo" and ".gnu.linkonce.this_module". They are now
checked prior to the access, which could avoid bad accesses with
malformed modules.
