gas: copy st_size only if unset
For
```
.size foo1, 1
foo1:
.set bar1, foo1
.size bar1, 2
.size bar2, 2
.set bar2, foo1
.set bar3, foo2
.size bar3, 2
.size bar4, 2
.set bar4, foo2
.size foo2, 1
foo2:
```
bar1's size is 2 while bar2, bar3, bar4's is 1. The behavior of bar1 makes sense
(generally directives on the new symbol should win) and is relied upon by glibc
stdio-common/errlist.c:
```
.hidden _sys_errlist_internal
.globl _sys_errlist_internal
.type _sys_errlist_internal, @object
.size _sys_errlist_internal, 1072
_sys_errlist_internal:
.globl __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist
.set __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist, _sys_errlist_internal
.type __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist, %object
.size __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist, 125 * (64 / 8)
// glibc expects that .size __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist, 125 * (64 / 8) wins.
```
The behavior of bar2/bar3/bar4 seems brittle. To avoid the reordering of the two
code blocks which will result in the bar3 situation, glibc compiles errlist.c
with gcc -fno-toplevel-reorder (previously -fno-unit-at-a-time).
To fix the inconsistency and improve robustness, make bar2/bar3/bar4 match bar1,
removing the directive order sensitivity.
There is a pity that `.size dest, 0` is indistinguishable from the case where
dest is unset, but the compromise seems fine.
