bfd: prune COFF/PE section flags setting
It is my understanding that IMAGE_SCN_LNK_* are supposed to communicate
information to the (static) linker, and become at best meaningless in PE
images. I wouldn't call loaders wrong which would refuse to process
sections with any of these bits set. While there's no replacement for
IMAGE_SCN_LNK_COMDAT, use IMAGE_SCN_MEM_DISCARDABLE in place of
IMAGE_SCN_LNK_REMOVE in this case.
