Implement --execute-only (and turn --no-execute-only from a no-op into an
options that does the opposite).

Note that this option is likely to be ineffective without changes to the
linker scripts. A change that adjusts the hppa linker scripts will follow
shortly. Other architectures will need some work.

Merge post-2.17 but pre-GPLv3 diffs that add support for DT_GNU_HASH
to ld and improve the readelf support:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-07/msg00129.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-07/msg00181.html

Disable the ld support on mips64, as its ABI requires a symbol
ordering that conflicts with the requirements of DT_GNU_HASH.

Tested on macppc, alpha, and sparc64 to verify operation with all
three ELF word size combos

Make creation of text-relocations a fatal error by default, with -znotext
to permit it and -ztext to reenable the default of forbidding it.

Port over binutils fix for PR ld/3111.

This greatly speeds up up linking of object files that contain
lots of dwarf2 symbols by caching symbol tables.

Original patch before binutils was switched to GPLv3 from:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-08/msg00334.html

Aaron Miller made us aware of that diff and adapted it to our
in-tree binutils. Many thanks!

-z wxneeded creates a PHDR PT_OPENBSD_WXNEEDED. This annotation is placed
on a binary by a software builder (ie. packager) to indicate to the kernel
that this software performs W^X violations.

Unbreak binutils on sparc64, hppa (and probably some others).
Jumbo merges are NOT WELCOME. They have to be seperated out and tested.

Introduce -Bsymbolic-functions and related flags. Taken from two
post-binutils 2.17 but pre-GPLv3 commits.
miod@ says now is the time to get this in.
