ELF/LD: Avoid producing hidden and internal dynamic symbols
Always turn hidden and internal symbols which have a dynamic index into local ones. This is required by the the ELF gABI[1]: "A hidden symbol contained in a relocatable object must be either removed or converted to STB_LOCAL binding by the link-editor when the relocatable object is included in an executable file or shared object." "An internal symbol contained in a relocatable object must be either removed or converted to STB_LOCAL binding by the link-editor when the relocatable object is included in an executable file or shared object." The ELF linker usually respects this requirement, however in the case where a dynamic symbol has been preallocated due to a reference of the default export class aka visibility from the object being linked, and then merged with a hidden or internal symbol definition from within the same object, then the original export class is carried over to the output dynamic symbol table, because while merging the generic ELF linker only converts affected dynamic symbols to local when they are defined or referenced by the object being linked and a dynamic object involved in the link both at a time. The dynamic symbol produced confuses then the dynamic loader at the run time -- the hidden or internal export class is ignored and the symbol follows preemption rules as with the default export class. In the MIPS target it happens when `mips_elf_record_global_got_symbol' creates a dynamic symbol when a call relocation is encountered. Additionally if the undefined symbol referred by such a relocation does specify the intended export class, then a local dynamic symbol is created instead, which is harmless and allowed, but useless. Normally no local dynamic symbols are created, except for a single dummy one at the beginning. Correct the problem by removing the extra check for a dynamic symbol being defined or referenced by the object being linked and a dynamic object involved in the link both at a time. The test cases included cover the internal and hidden symbol cases, as well as a protected symbol for a reference, the handling of which is unchanged by this fix. Both cases described above are covered, that is where an internal or hidden dynamic symbol is produced and where a local one is. NB this change affects CRIS results where some symbols in the static table produced in a final link are now converted from STV_HIDDEN to STB_LOCAL. This happens whenever the `elf_backend_hide_symbol' handler is called, so the affected symbols must have been chosen for entering into the dynamic symbol table, except in these test cases no such symbol table is produced. In fully linked binaries the static symbol table is only used for debugging though, so such a change is fine.
