The CTF linking process wants to deduplicate the CTF strtab against the
ELF strtab, for which it needs to know the number of strings in the
strtab and it needs to be able to extract them one by one.
The BFD strtab functions only support returning the
size-or-section-length of the strtab (with _bfd_elf_strtab_size)
and returning the offset (but not string!) and decrementing the refcount
at the same time.
So add new functions _bfd_elf_strtab_len (that just returns the length
in strings of the strtab, never the section size) and bfd_elf_strtab_str
(which returns the string at a given strtab index, and its offset,
without touching the refcount).
It is probably a mistake to use _bfd_elf_strtab_str in particular before
_bfd_elf_strtab_finalize is called, and will not produce useful output
if you do so.
v5: fix tabdamage.

* elf-strtab.c (_bfd_elf_strtab_len): New.
(_bfd_elf_strtab_str): Likewise.
* bfd-elf.h: Declare them.
The code in ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect (which is the ultimate place where you
end up if you use ctf_open to open a CTF file and pull in the ELF string
and symbol tables) was written before it was possible to actually test
it, since the linker was not written. Now it is, it turns out that the
previous code was completely nonfunctional: it assumed that you could
load the symbol table via bfd_section_from_elf_index (...,elf_onesymtab())
and the string table via bfd_section_from_elf_index on the sh_link.
Unfortunately BFD loads neither of these sections in the conventional
fashion it uses for most others: the symbol table is immediately
converted into internal form (which is useless for our purposes, since
we also have to work in the absence of BFD for readelf, etc) and the
string table is loaded specially via bfd_elf_get_str_section which is
private to bfd/elf.c.
So make this function public, export it in elf-bfd.h, and use it from
libctf, which does something similar to what bfd_elf_sym_name and
bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section do. Similarly, load the symbol table
manually using bfd_elf_get_elf_syms and throw away the internal form
it generates for us (we never use it).
BFD allocates the strtab for us via bfd_alloc, so we can leave BFD to
deallocate it: we allocate the symbol table ourselves before calling
bfd_elf_get_elf_syms, so we still have to free it.
Also change the rules around what you are allowed to provide: It is
useful to provide a string section but no symbol table, because CTF
sections can legitimately have no function info or data object sections
while relying on the ELF strtab for some of their strings. So allow
that combination.
v4: adjust to upstream changes. ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect's first parameter
is potentially unused again (if BFD is not in use for this link
due to not supporting an ELF target).
v5: fix tabdamage.

In check_relocs, bfd_link_pic true means ld is producing a shared
library or a position independent executable. !bfd_link_pic means a
fixed position (ie. static) executable since the relocatable linking
case is excluded. So it is appropriate to continue using bfd_link_pic
when testing whether non-pcrelative relocations should be dynamic, and
!bfd_link_pic for the special case of ifunc in static executables.
However, -Bsymbolic shouldn't affect PIEs (they are executables so
none of their symbols should be overridden) and PIEs can support copy
relocations, thus bfd_link_executable should be used in those cases
rather than bfd_link_pic.
I've also removed the test of ELIMINATE_COPY_RELOCS in check_relocs.
We can sort out what to do regarding copy relocs later, which allows
the code in check_relocs to be simplified.

This one exposed a bug in tic6x gas, found with inline function
parameter type checking. struct bfd_section and struct bfd_symbol

This patch corrects the set of dynamic relocations recognised by gold

supported glibc dynamic relocations changes.

I get some spurious changes when running autoconf/automake for various
projects in the tree. This is likely because they were generated using
distro-patched tools last time.
I ran `autoreconf -f` in the various automake projects of the
binutils-gdb tree, and this is the result. The tools I am using have
been compiled from source, from the upstream release.
