SHT_NOBITS section.
(assign_file_positions_except_relocs): Only force sh_offset and
sh_addr to match modulo maxpagesize for a section which is not
SHT_NOBITS. Changed the method used to force page alignment after
a SHT_NOBITS section to only do it for the last such consecutive
section, and to really force page alignment.
(struct ecoff_backend_data): Move external debugging information
fields into a single field pointing to an ecoff_debug_swap

field pointing to an ecoff_debug_info structure.

and ".bss" sections.
(setup_sections): Do not set SEC_HAS_CONTENTS if a section's size
is zero. Recognize BSS type sections and turn off SEC_LOAD and
SEC_DATA (so binutils/size works). Set the correct value for
a section's _raw_size.
(som_slurp_symbol_table): Program entry points, and millicode are
also functions. Mark them as such. Also mark L$* symbols as
debugging symbols.
