Allows .dynbss copy of shared library protected visibility variables
if they are read-only.
To recap: Copying a variable from a shared library into an executable's
.dynbss is an old hack invented for non-PIC executables, to avoid the
text relocations you'd otherwise need to access a shared library
variable. This works with ELF shared libraries because global
symbols can be overridden. The trouble is that protected visibility
symbols can't be overridden. A shared library will continue to access
it's own protected visibility variable while the executable accesses a
copy. If either the shared library or the executable updates the
value then the copy diverges from the original. This is wrong since
there is only one definition of the variable in the application.
So I made the linker report an error on attempting to copy protected
visibility variables into .dynbss. However, you'll notice the above
paragraph contains an "If". An application that does not modify the
variable value remains correct even though two copies of the variable
exist. The linker can detect this situation if the variable was
defined in a read-only section.

I was having a little closer look at what is going on here and noticed
that HJ unconditionally emits a NULL STT_FILE symbol before emitting
forced local symbols. That means we really don't need a second pass
over forced local symbols. The only reason for two passes is when
some forced local symbol can be emitted before the NULL STT_FILE. So
I set about removing the second pass, updating the testsuite all over
again. It's also unnecessary to emit the NULL STT_FILE when no
previous file symbol has been emitted.

We output a NULL STT_FILE symbol for forced local symbols so that they
are not associated with the STT_FILE symbol for real local symbols. This
patch makes sure that the NULL STT_FILE symbol is placed before forced
local symbols.

LTO output objects have an STT_FILE symbol using the name of the file,
a temporary file. This results in executables that can't be exactly
reproduced, so the file name needs to be dropped. We don't want to
lose all file symbols when linking a mix of lto and non-lto objects as
a file symbol can be used to figure which source file generated a
given local symbol. So lto output objects need to be marked.
I chose to mark lto output objects with a new bfd flag. This flag is
also used to fix a bug in the link-once handling; An object being
loaded after "loading_lto_outputs" is set might be one extracted from
an archive to satisfy new references from lto objects, not an lto
object itself.
The new flag is copied from archive to elements, and the same done
for no_export. This fixes a bug in that --exclude-libs doesn't work
with thin archives. I'm not completely happy with this part of the
patch and may revist this to avoid the hack in
_bfd_look_for_bfd_in_cache.

LTO may optimize out a plugin symbol, which is also referenced by a
non-IR file. When that happens, we should mark the plugin symbol
undefined. It isn't the problem since LTO already determined the
symbols in the non-IR file aren't used.

Running lang_common before garbage collection means slightly less work
in garbage collection code, since common symbols should no longer
appear there. It does have the side effect of keeping linker script
symbols (at least those defined outside of sections) global too,
hence some testsuite churn.
