dynrelro section for read-only dynamic symbols copied into executable


Variables defined in shared libraries are copied into an executable's
.bss section when code in the executable is non-PIC and thus would
require dynamic text relocations to access the variable directly in
the shared library.  Recent x86 toolchains also copy variables into
the executable to gain a small speed improvement.

The problem is that if the variable was originally read-only, the copy
in .bss is writable, potentially opening a security hole.  This patch
cures that problem by putting the copy in a section that becomes
read-only after ld.so relocation, provided -z relro is in force.

These targets should now be OK: aarch64, arm, hppa, i386, metag,
microblaze, mips, mips64, nios2, or1k, ppc, ppc64, s390, s390x, sparc,
sparc64, tic6x, tilegx, tilepro and x86-64.  However, not much testing
has been done yet..  I applied fixes for riscv too, before realizing
that riscv scripts are broken for relro.

The patch also fixes a microblaze linker segfault on attempting to
use dynamic bss variables.

Of the targets I regularly test, the following fail the new test:

shl-unknown-netbsdelf  +FAIL: pr20995
tic6x-elf  +FAIL: pr20995
vax-netbsdelf  +FAIL: pr20995

mips apparently needs a tweak to run the testcase with the right
flags.  riscv scripts are hosed for -z relro.  tic6x doesn't want to
create any dynamic relocs for the testcase.  The rest are targets that
I haven't converted over to use the new dynamic sections for read-only
variables.  I don't intend to do much more on this over Christmas
and New Year, so if your favourite target is one of those that fails
the test it's likely that 2.28 will go out without the fix unless
target maintainers step up.
