The point of doing the change this way, and I think what's being
ignored, is that I am trying to simply replace an #if with a clearly
equivalent feature test - clearly equivalent as the #if guards use of
dwarf_cfi_end in the code. Merging test_elfutils with
test_libdw_getcfi is another cognitive step and I think it is fine as
follow up cleanup. Combining that step with the change here fails the
minimal meaningful change and tbh I think this is just bike shedding.
