libiberty: Add BigObj COFF support for LTO on Windows targets [PR122472]HEADtrunkmaster

This patch adds support for the BigObj COFF object file format to libiberty's
simple-object-coff.c. BigObj extends regular COFF to support a 32-bit section
count.

BigObj differs from COFF in a few ways:

* A different header structure
* 32-bit section counts instead of 16-bit
* 32-bit symbol section numbers instead of 16-bit
* 20-byte symbols instead of 18-byte symbols
  (due to the extended section numbers)
