This patch adds --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]
to ld for ELF targets to support generating compressed DWARF debug
sections. We always generate .zdebug_* section since section names have
been finalized and they can't be changed easily when compression is
being performed.
bfd/
* bfd-in.h (compressed_debug_section_type): New.
* compress.c (bfd_compress_section_contents): Add an argument
for linker write compression and always generate .zdebug_*
section when linking.

* elf.c (elf_fake_sections): For linking, set SEC_ELF_COMPRESS

section if COMPRESS_DEBUG_GABI_ZLIB isn't set.

Address of protected data defined in the shared library may be external,
i.e., due to copy relocation. By default, linker backend checks if
relocations against protected data symbols are valid for building shared
library and issues an error if relocation isn't allowed. The new option
override linker backend default. When -z noextern-protected-data is used,
updates on protected data symbols by another module won't be visibile
to the resulting shared library. This option is specific to ELF/i386
and ELF/x86-64.

The linker script documentation does not mention the optional comma
that may follow an output section command or an overlay command.
In some cases, where a fill expression is used, and the next
output section command begins with an operator (e.g., "/DISCARD/"),
the comma may be required to separate the two commands.
Currently, GNU ld doesn't require the comma, but gold does.

An assignment to dot in an output section that allocates space of
course keeps the output section. Here, I'm changing the behaviour for
assignments that don't allocate space. The idea is not so much to
allow people to force output of an empty section with ". = .", but
to fix cases where an otherwise empty section has padding added by an
alignment expression that changes with relaxation or .eh_frame
editing. Such a section might have zero size before relaxation and so
be stripped incorrectly.
