ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols

For ELF targets, section symbols are required only for relocations.
With -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, there can be many unused
section symbols.  Sizes of libstdc++.a on Linux/x86-64 in GCC 11 are

With unused section symbols   : 39411698 bytes
Without unused section symbols: 39227002 bytes

The unused section symbols in libstdc++.a occupy more than 180 KB.

Add BSF_SECTION_SYM_USED to indicate if a section symbol should be
included in the symbol table.  The BSF_SECTION_SYM_USED should be set
if the section symbol is used for relocation or the section symbol is
always included in the symbol table.

Add keep_unused_section_symbols to bfd_target to indicate if unused
section symbols should be kept.  If TARGET_KEEP_UNUSED_SECTION_SYMBOLS
is defined as FALSE, unused ection symbols will be removed.

Tested on Linux/x86.  Other ELF backends need to:

1. Define TARGET_KEEP_UNUSED_SECTION_SYMBOLS to FALSE.
2. Mark used section symbols in assembler backend.
3. Remove unused section symbols from expected assembler and linker
outputs.
