I've added an example with jump/control flow visualization and syntax highlighting (which can be really useful when someone is reading the disassembled output of objdump). I reordered the arguments of the Intel syntax example so that all disassembly examples align vertically.

I also added a mnemonic for the symbol table example.

The difference between the output of objdump with --visualize-jumps=extended-color --disassembler-color=extended-color and without is the difference between:
