MIPS: Don't infer IRIX OS ABI from generic section names
There are `.MIPS.abiflags', `.MIPS.options' and `.MIPS.stubs' sections also present in Linux executables, so we can't infer IRIX OS ABI solely from the existence of these sections. This is not going to be a problem as there are bound to be other sections whose names start with `.MIPS.' in IRIX executables and this selection only matters for a non-default OS ABI in a multiple-target GDB executable. As a last resort the automatic selection can be overridden with `set osabi'. * mips-irix-tdep.c (mips_irix_elf_osabi_sniff_abi_tag_sections): Exclude `.MIPS.abiflags', `.MIPS.options' and `.MIPS.stubs' from the list of sections determining GDB_OSABI_IRIX.
