powerpc64 and "nm -C"

[Alan Modra <amodra at bigpond dot net dot au>]

The demangler currently doesn't work very well on powerpc64 due to
those pesky leading `.'s on function entry point symbols.  I also
think it useful to be able to distinguish function descriptor syms
(without a dot) from function code syms (with dot) after demangling,
hence the ldmisc.c change.

ld/ChangeLog
	* ldmisc.c (demangle): Restore dots stripped from sym name.

binutils/ChangeLog
	* nm.c (print_symname): When demangling, strip leading dots from
	symbol names to avoid confusing the demangler.
