Change objcopy's --set-section-alignment option to take a byte alignment value rather than a power of two alignment value.
PR 24942
* objcopy.c (copy_usage): Update description of
--set-section-alignment.
(copy_main): Interpret numeric argument of --set-section-alignment
as a byte alignment, not a power of two alignment.
* doc/binutils.texi: Update description of
--set-section-alignment.
* testsuite/binutils-all/set-section-alignment.d: New test.
* testsuite/binutils-all/objcopy.exp: Run the new test.
