Enhance support for copying and stripping Solaris and ARM binaries.

	PR 19938
bfd	* elf-bfd.h (struct elf_backend_data): Rename
	elf_backend_set_special_section_info_and_link to
	elf_backend_copy_special_section_fields.
	* elfxx-target.h: Likewise.
	* elf.c (section_match): Ignore the SHF_INFO_LINK flag when
	comparing section flags.
	(copy_special_section_fields): New function.
	(_bfd_elf_copy_private_bfd_data): Copy the EI_ABIVERSION field.
	Perform two scans over special sections.  The first one looks for
	a direct mapping between the output section and an input section.
	The second scan looks for a possible match based upon section
	characteristics.
	* elf32-arm.c (elf32_arm_copy_special_section_fields): New
	function.  Handle setting the sh_link field of SHT_ARM_EXIDX
	sections.
	* elf32-i386.c (elf32_i386_set_special_info_link): Rename to
	elf32_i386_copy_solaris_special_section_fields.
	* elf32-sparc.c (elf32_sparc_set_special_section_info_link):
	Rename to elf32_sparc_copy_solaris_special_section_fields.
	* elf64-x86-64.c (elf64_x86_64_set_special_info_link): Rename to
	elf64_x86_64_copy_solaris_special_section_fields.

binutils* readelf.c (get_solaris_segment_type): New function.
	(get_segment_type): Call it.
