MIPS/LD: Fix a segfault from ELF `e_flags' access with non-ELF output BFD

Fix a commit 861fb55ab50a ("Defer allocation of R_MIPS_REL32 GOT
slots"), <https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-08/msg00096.html>,
regression and a more recent:

FAIL: ld-unique/pr21529

new LD test case failure, observed with all the relevant MIPS targets
whenever the linker is invoked with one or more ELF inputs and the
output format set to `binary'.

The culprit is a segmentation fault caused in `mips_before_allocation'
by a null pointer dereference, where an attempt is made to access the
ELF file header's `e_flags' member, for the purpose of determining
whether to produce a PLT and copy relocations, without first checking
that the output BFD is ELF.  The `e_flags' member is stored in BFD's
private data pointed to by `tdep', which in the case of the `binary' BFD
is null, causing the segmentation fault.  With other non-ELF BFDs such
as SREC `tdep' is not null and consequently no crash may happen and in
that case random data will be interpreted as it was `e_flags'.

Disable the access to `e_flags' then and all the associated checks and
consequently never produce a PLT and copy relocations if output is not a
MIPS ELF BFD, matching `_bfd_mips_elf_merge_private_bfd_data' that does
not process `e_flags' in that case either and therefore does not let us
decide here anyway if all the input objects included in the link are
suitable for use with a PLT and copy relocations.
