LIEF Adds DWARF Generation: Bridging Reverse Engineering Tools

LIEF now boasts a comprehensive API for creating DWARF files, along with plugins for Ghidra and BinaryNinja to export reverse-engineering analysis results. This allows sharing of crucial information like function names and structures across different reverse engineering tools. Leveraging LLVM's DWARF backend, the API (available in Python, Rust, and C++) simplifies the process, even handling details like stack variable offsets. This improves collaboration and understanding in complex reverse engineering projects.
