Extends `BinaryInfo.getSections()` to support ELF binaries using LIEF. Unlike PE sections, ELF sections are used with their raw virtual address and size without 0x1000 alignment, as they are often packed tightly. Modified `tests/testFileFormatParsers.py` to verify ELF section extraction using the existing `bashlite` sample.
Refactors `BinaryInfo` to cache the `lief` parsed binary in `_lief_binary`, improving performance by avoiding repeated parsing in `getOep`, `getExportedFunctions`, etc. Updates `getSections` to support both PE and ELF binaries, utilizing the cached LIEF object and applying format-specific logic (0x1000 alignment for PE, raw size for ELF). Includes verification in `tests/testFileFormatParsers.py`.
