PE-COFF: Fix link failure of C++ code with debug info after partial linking
If you apply the following recipe to the attached C/C++ files with a PE-COFF
toolchain, you get the specified output:
1. g++ -c clib.cpp cpplib.cpp test.c -g
2. g++ -o pl.o clib.o cpplib.o -nostdlib -Wl,-r
3. objcopy pl.o
objcopy.exe: pl.o: warning: COMDAT symbol
'.debug_frame$_ZNSt12_Vector_baseIiSaIiEE12_Vector_implD1Ev' does not match
section name '.debug_frame'
4. g++ -o test test.o pl.o
ld.exe: pl.o: warning: COMDAT symbol

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The problem pertains to section symbols generated for COMDAT sections: they
are marked as local symbols as per Microsoft's PE-COFF specification, but
partial linking discards the duplicate COMDAT sections without being able
to either merge them, or remove them when they are used in a relocation.
So they end up as undefined local symbols after the partial link, which in
turn may cause the final link to fail (in practice you need e.g. a call to
objcopy in between, because it moves them to the end of the symbol list).
This change instructs the linker to "relocate" them instead, that is to say
to attach them to the one COMDAT section that is output among the multiple
COMDAT sections that are duplicate. It also prevents partial linking from
prematurely globing the .[z]debug_frame* sections together, as already done
for the .eh_frame* sections.
bfd/
* cofflink.c (_bfd_coff_link_input_bfd): For a relocatable output,
relocate section symbols for input sections that are not going to
be emitted because they are duplicate of another one in the link.
ld/
* scripttempl/pe.sc (.debug_frame): Do not glob all .debug_frame*
sections together when not relocating.
(.zdebug_frame): Likewise for .zdebug_frame* sections.
* scripttempl/pep.sc (.debug_frame): Likewise.
(.zdebug_frame): Likewise.
