Implement a new BFD API function: bfd_is_target_special_symbol. Use this in nm
and objdump to skip the displaying of ARM Mapping symbols unless specifically requested.

+* nm and objdump now have a switch "--special-syms" to enable the displaying of
+ symbols which the target considers to be special. By default these symbols
+ are no longer displayed. Currently the only special symbols are the Mapping
+ symbols used by the ARM port to mark transitions between text and data and
+ between ARM and THUMB code.
+
* dlltool has a switch "--ext-prefix-alias <prefix>" to generate additional
import and export symbols with <preifx> prepended to them.
