elf: Report property change when merging properties
With merging properties, report property change in linker map file, like Merging program properties Removed property 0xc0010000 to merge /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib64/crt1.o (0x0) and /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib64/crti.o (0x0) Removed property 0xc0000002 to merge /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib64/crt1.o (0x3) and x.o (not found) Removed property 0xc0000000 to merge /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib64/crt1.o (not found) and /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS) (0x0) Removed property 0xc0000001 to merge /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib64/crt1.o (not found) and /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS) (0x0) bfd/ * elf-properties.c (elf_find_and_remove_property): Add a bfd_boolean argument to indicate if the property should be removed.
