The new orphan handling tests added in commit c005eb9 fail on a range of
targets. Some of the failures were fixed in commit e32aa93 but not
all. This commit should address the remaining failures.
Update results to account for orphan sections being placed in different
orders, and for other, target specific sections, being discarded.
ld/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* ld-elf/orphan-7.map: Allow for other discarded sections.
* ld-elf/orphan-8.map: Updated to allow for different section
ordering on different targets.
* ld-elf/orphan.ld: Place .sbss section.
Replace the options --warn-orphan and --no-warn-orphan with a single
option --orphan-handling=MODE, where mode can be place, warn, error, and
discard.
Mode 'place' is the default, and is the current behaviour, placing the
orphan section into a suitable output section.
Mode 'warn' is the same as '--warn-orphan'. The orphan is also placed
using the same algorithm as for 'place'.
Mode 'error' is the same as '--warn-orphan' and '--fatal-warnings'.
Mode 'discard' assigns all output sections to the /DISCARD/ section.

This patch adds --compress-debug-sections={none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi}
options to gas and objcopy for ELF files. They control how DWARF debug
sections are compressed. --compress-debug-sections=none is equivalent to
--nocompress-debug-sections. --compress-debug-sections=zlib and
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu are equivalent to
--compress-debug-sections. --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi compresses
DWARF debug sections with SHF_COMPRESSED from the ELF ABI. No linker
changes are required to support SHF_COMPRESSED.
