ld: Extend options for altering orphan handling behaviour.
Replace the options --warn-orphan and --no-warn-orphan with a single
option --orphan-handling=MODE, where mode can be place, warn, error, and
discard.
Mode 'place' is the default, and is the current behaviour, placing the
orphan section into a suitable output section.
Mode 'warn' is the same as '--warn-orphan'. The orphan is also placed
using the same algorithm as for 'place'.
Mode 'error' is the same as '--warn-orphan' and '--fatal-warnings'.
Mode 'discard' assigns all output sections to the /DISCARD/ section.
ld/ChangeLog:
* ld.h (enum orphan_handling_enum): New.
(ld_config_type): Remove warn_orphan, add orphan_handling.
* ldemul.c (ldemul_place_orphan): Remove warning about orphan
sections.
* ldlang.c (ldlang_place_orphan): New function.
(lang_place_orphans): Call ldlang_place_orphan.
* ldlex.h (enum option_values): Remove OPTION_WARN_ORPHAN and
OPTION_NO_WARN_ORPHAN, add OPTION_ORPHAN_HANDLING.
* lexsup.c (ld_options): Remove 'warn-orphan' and
'no-warn-orphan', add 'orphan-handling'.
(parse_args): Remove handling for OPTION_WARN_ORPHAN and
OPTION_NO_WARN_ORPHAN, add handling for OPTION_ORPHAN_HANDLING.
* NEWS: Replace text about --warn-orphan with --orphan-handling.
* ld.texinfo (Options): Remove --warn-orphan entry and add
entry on --orphan-handling.
(Orphan Sections): Add reference to relevant command line options.
ld/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* ld-elf/elf.exp: Switch to rely on run_dump_test.
* ld-elf/orphan-5.l: Update expected output.
* ld-elf/orphan-5.d: New file.
