Add a new option to disable the listing of discarded sections
in map file output. The use case stems from a large application
built with -ffunction-sections --gc-sections where the list of
discarded sections blows up the map file output. The default
behaviour remains to print discarded sections, but the new option
allows us to disable it.

A new implemented feature in GCC Microblaze that allows Position
Independent Code to run using Data Text Relative addressing instead
of using Global Offset Table.
Its aim was to make 'PIC' more efficient and flexible as elf size
excess performance overhead were noticed when using GOT due to the
indirect addressing.
include/ChangeLog:
* bfdlink.h (Add flag): Add new flag @ 'bfd_link_info' struct.
* elf/microblaze.h (Add 3 new relocations):
R_MICROBLAZE_TEXTPCREL_64, R_MICROBLAZE_TEXTREL_64
and R_MICROBLAZE_TEXTREL_32_LO for relax function.
bfd/ChangeLog:
* bfd/reloc.c (2 new BFD relocations):
BFD_RELOC_MICROBLAZE_64_TEXTPCREL &
BFD_RELOC_MICROBLAZE_64_TEXTPCREL
* bfd/bfd-in2.h: Regenerate
* bfd/libbfd.h: Regenerate

This commit adds a new linker feature: the ability to resolve section
groups as part of a relocatable link.
Currently section groups are automatically resolved when performing a
final link, and are carried through when performing a relocatable link.
By carried through this means that one copy of each section group (from
all the copies that might be found in all the input files) is placed
into the output file. Sections that are part of a section group will
not match input section specifiers within a linker script and are
forcibly kept as separate sections.
There is a slight resemblance between section groups and common
section. Like section groups, common sections are carried through when
performing a relocatable link, and resolved (allocated actual space)
only at final link time.
However, with common sections there is an ability to force the linker to
allocate space for the common sections when performing a relocatable
link, there's currently no such ability for section groups.
This commit adds such a mechanism. This new facility can be accessed in
two ways, first there's a command line switch --force-group-allocation,
second, there's a new linker script command FORCE_GROUP_ALLOCATION. If
one of these is used when performing a relocatable link then the linker
will resolve the section groups as though it were performing a final
link, the section group will be deleted, and the members of the group
will be placed like normal input sections. If there are multiple copies
of the group (from multiple input files) then only one copy of the group
members will be placed, the duplicate copies will be discarded.
Unlike common sections that have the --no-define-common command line
flag, and INHIBIT_COMMON_ALLOCATION linker script command there is no
way to prevent group resolution during a final link, this is because the
ELF gABI specifically prohibits the presence of SHT_GROUP sections in a
fully linked executable. However, the code as written should make
adding such a feature trivial, setting the new resolve_section_groups
flag to false during a final link should work as you'd expect.
bfd/ChangeLog:
* elf.c (_bfd_elf_make_section_from_shdr): Don't initially mark
SEC_GROUP sections as SEC_EXCLUDE.
(bfd_elf_set_group_contents): Replace use of abort with an assert.
(assign_section_numbers): Use resolve_section_groups flag instead
of relocatable link type.

flag instead of checking the final_link flag for part of the
checks in here. Fix white space as a result.
* elflink.c (elf_link_input_bfd): Use resolve_section_groups flag
instead of relocatable link type.
(bfd_elf_final_link): Likewise.

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.
ld/ChangeLog:
* ld.h (enum orphan_handling_enum): New.
(ld_config_type): Remove warn_orphan, add orphan_handling.
* ldemul.c (ldemul_place_orphan): Remove warning about orphan
sections.

OPTION_NO_WARN_ORPHAN, add OPTION_ORPHAN_HANDLING.
* lexsup.c (ld_options): Remove 'warn-orphan' and

Add a new command line option '--require-defined' to the linker. This
option operates identically to the '--undefined' option, except that if
the symbol is not defined in the final output file then the linker will
exit with an error.
When making use of --gc-section, or just when trying to pull in parts of
a library, it is not uncommon for a user to use the '--undefined'
command line option to specify a symbol that the user then expects to be
defined by one of the object files supplied to the link.
However, if for any reason the symbol is not satisfied by an object
provided to the link the user will be left with an undefined symbol in
the output file, instead of a defined symbol.
In some cases the above behaviour is what the user wants, in other cases
though we can do better. The '--require-defined' option tries to fill
this gap. The symbol passed to the '--require-defined' option is
treated exactly as if the symbol was passed to '--undefined', however,
before the linker exits a check is made that all symbols passed to
'--require-defined' are actually defined, if any are not then the link
will fail with an error.

(ldlex_inputlist): New start-condition-setter function.
* ldgram.y (input_list1): Rename from input_list. All recursive

(input_list): New wrapper rule for input_list1, setting
INPUTLIST lexer state for the duration of parsing input_list1.
All this to say INPUT(=/path/to/file) and not be forced to use
INPUT("=/path/to/file") whenever there's a need to force a sysroot-
prefix. Still, IMHO it seems better to make use of a previously
invalid syntax and not only change the meaning of quoted =-prefixed
paths (though arguably that's not very useful before this patchset).
This got a little bit hairier than I'd expected: I had to add a new
lexer state (aka. start condition) to avoid a first "=" being lexed as
the token "=", despite that not making sense in constructs expecting
file-names in the first place. (The grammar doesn't allow for
expressions in any part of those lists.) I guess I *could* have made
it work using that token anyway, but I didn't like the idea that you
would be able to separate the "=" from the rest of the file-name with
whitespace.

* ldexp.c (exp_intop, exp_bigintop, exp_relop): Set type.filename.
