Subject: [PATCH 12/31] gpu: nova-core: add auto-detection of 32-bit, 64-bit firmware images

Add elf_section() which checks the ELF magic and class byte to
automatically dispatch to elf32_section() or elf64_section().

Update existing callers to use elf_section() instead of calling
elf64_section() directly.
