When .data and .bss sections are empty .noinit section is placed at data
region's start. This will be incorrect for devices that has different
data start address than data region start in linker script.
The patch updates .noinit section's VMA to end of .bss section. So, .noinit
section will be placed at .data section address (-Tdata=<address>) when .data
and .bss sections are empty.

As defined at AArch64 ELF Specification (4.6.7 Call and Jump
relocations), symbol with type of non STT_FUNC but in different input
section with relocation place should insert long branch veneer also.
Meanwhile the current long branch veneer infrastructure havn't considered
the situation where the branch destination is "sym_value + rela->addend".
This was OK because we only insert veneer for long call destination is
STT_FUNC symbol for which the addend is always zero. But as we relax the
support to other situations by this patch, we need to handle addend be
non-zero value. For example, for static function, relocation against
"local symbol" are turned into relocation against "section symbol + offset"
where there is a valid addend.

We have a problem in that in making compatibility checks while merging
private BFD data on the MIPS target we give priority to the attribute
check, which may fail and cause the function to abort early on. The
problem with this is the ABI compatibility aspect recorded in the
attributes is relatively minor compared to aspects recorded in the ELF
file header. However the premature exit causes any more important
compatibility aspect violated to be masked and not reported to the user
once a problem with attributes has been noticed.
So move the attribute check after the ELF file header flag check in
`_bfd_mips_elf_merge_private_bfd_data', and do not return prematurely
there. Take advantage of the resulting grouping of ELF file header
handling together and remove the premature success return point for the
first input object being handled, letting the code later on figure out
output ABI flags even for this object.
Update LD test cases according to messages from ELF file header checks
now preceding ones from attribute checks.

To support thumb1 execute-only code we need to support four new
relocations (R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G0_NC, R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G1_NC,
R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G2_NC and R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G3_NC).
These relocations allow the static linker to finalize construction
of symbol address.
Typical sequence of code to get address of the symbol foo is then
the following :
movs r3, #:upper8_15:#foo
lsls r3, #8
adds r3, #:upper0_7:#foo
lsls r3, #8
adds r3, #:lower8_15:#foo
lsls r3, #8
adds r3, #:lower0_7:#foo
This will give following sequence of text and relocations after
assembly :
4: 2300 movs r3, #0
4: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G3_NC foo
6: 021b lsls r3, r3, #8
8: 3300 adds r3, #0
8: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G2_NC foo
a: 021b lsls r3, r3, #8
c: 3300 adds r3, #0
c: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G1_NC foo
e: 021b lsls r3, r3, #8
10: 3300 adds r3, #0
10: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G0_NC foo
When creating a dummy BFD for an IR file, the output BFD is used as
a template for the new BFD, when it needs to be the input BFD passed
into the function when not dealing with a BFD plugin.
On most targets this is not an issue as the input and output formats
are the same anyway, but on MinGW targets, there are two variant
formats used (pe-i386/pe-x86-64 and pei-i386/pei-x86-64) which are
similar but not interchangeable here.
