Use SHF_GNU_RETAIN to preserve symbol definitions
In assemly code, the section flag 'R' sets the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag to
indicate that the section must be preserved by the linker.
Add SECTION_RETAIN to indicate a section should be retained by the linker
and set SECTION_RETAIN on section for the preserved symbol if assembler
supports SHF_GNU_RETAIN. All retained symbols are placed in separate
sections with
.section .data.rel.local.preserved_symbol,"awR"
preserved_symbol:
...
.section .data.rel.local,"aw"
not_preserved_symbol:
...
to avoid
.section .data.rel.local,"awR"
preserved_symbol:
...
not_preserved_symbol:
...
which places not_preserved_symbol definition in the SHF_GNU_RETAIN
section.

* configure.ac (HAVE_GAS_SHF_GNU_RETAIN): New. Define 1 if
the assembler supports marking sections with SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag.
* output.h (SECTION_RETAIN): New. Defined as 0x4000000.
(SECTION_MACH_DEP): Changed from 0x4000000 to 0x8000000.
(default_unique_section): Add a bool argument.
* varasm.c (get_section): Set SECTION_RETAIN for the preserved
symbol with HAVE_GAS_SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
(resolve_unique_section): Used named section for the preserved
symbol if assembler supports SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
(get_variable_section): Handle the preserved common symbol with
HAVE_GAS_SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
(default_elf_asm_named_section): Require the full declaration and
use the 'R' flag for SECTION_RETAIN.
* config.in: Regenerated.
* configure: Likewise.
* doc/sourcebuild.texi: Document R_flag_in_section.
