Add an option ignore SONAME differences in libraries

There are rare use cases where we do not want to compare the SONAME when
testing libraries for compatiblity or diffing libraries. This adds an
option to ignore the SONAME when doing the comparison. In these cases,
we will edit the application's DT_NEEDED to point to the other library.

This reuses the show_soname_change() function and slightly changes its
meaning to not only control if the sonames are printed but also if
they are compared. There didn't seem to be any other users of this
function and slight semantic change seemed harmless.

	* doc/manuals/abicompat.rst - added new option
	* doc/manuals/abidiff.rst - added new option to manpage
	* src/abg-comparison.cc (compute_diff): don't bother comparing the
	sonames if you aren't going to print them.
	* tools/abicompat.cc (options::ignore_soname): Add new data
	member.
	(parse_command_line): Support the new --ignore-soname command line
	option.
	(display_usage): Add a description string for the new
	--ignore-soname command line option.
	(create_diff_context): Set the diff_context::show_soname_change
	from the new options::ignore_soname data member.
	* tools/abidiff.cc (options::ignore_soname): Add new data member.
	(display_usage): Add a description string for the new
	--ignore-soname command line option.
	(parse_command_line): Support the new --ignore-soname command line
	option.
	(set_diff_context_from_opts): Set the
	diff_context::show_soname_change from the new
	options::ignore_soname.
