Support SHF_GNU_RETAIN ELF section flag

The SHF_GNU_RETAIN section flag is an extension to the GNU ELF OSABI.
It is defined as follows:

=========================================================
Section Attribute Flags
+-------------------------------------+
| Name           | Value              |
+-------------------------------------+
| SHF_GNU_RETAIN | 0x200000 (1 << 21) |
+-------------------------------------+

SHF_GNU_RETAIN
  The link editor should not garbage collect the section.
=========================================================

The .section directive accepts the "R" flag, which indicates
SHF_GNU_RETAIN should be applied to the section.

There is not a direct mapping of SHF_GNU_RETAIN to the BFD
section flag SEC_KEEP. Keeping these flags distinct allows
SHF_GNU_RETAIN sections to be explicitly removed by placing them in
/DISCARD/.
