Add --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]

This patch adds --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]
to ld for ELF targets to support generating compressed DWARF debug
sections.  We always generate .zdebug_* section since section names have
been finalized and they can't be changed easily when compression is
being performed.

bfd/

	* bfd-in.h (compressed_debug_section_type): New.
	* compress.c (bfd_compress_section_contents): Add an argument
	for linker write compression and always generate .zdebug_*
	section when linking.
	(bfd_init_section_compress_status): Pass FALSE to
	bfd_compress_section_contents.
	(bfd_compress_section): New function.
	* elf.c (elf_fake_sections): For linking, set SEC_ELF_COMPRESS
	on DWARF debug sections if COMPRESS_DEBUG is set and rename
	section if COMPRESS_DEBUG_GABI_ZLIB isn't set.
	(assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections): Set sh_offset
	to -1 if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
	(assign_file_positions_except_relocs): Likwise.
	(_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_relocs): Renamed to ...
	(_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_non_load): This.  Change
	return time to bfd_boolean.  Compress the section if
	SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
	(_bfd_elf_write_object_contents): Updated.
	(_bfd_elf_set_section_contents): Write section contents to
	the buffer if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
	* merge.c: Include "elf-bfd.h".
	(sec_merge_emit): Add arguments for contents and offset.  Write
	to contents with offset if contents isn't NULL.
	(_bfd_write_merged_section): Write section contents to the
	buffer if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.  Pass contents and
	output_offset to sec_merge_emit.
	* elflink.c (bfd_elf_final_link): Allocate the buffer for
	output section contents if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
	* section.c (SEC_ELF_COMPRESS): New.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerated.

gas/

	* as.h (compressed_debug_section_type): Removed.

include/

	* bfdlink.h (bfd_link_info): Add compress_debug.

ld/

	* ld.texinfo: Document --compress-debug-sections=.
	* ldmain.c (main): Set BFD_COMPRESS on output_bfd if
	COMPRESS_DEBUG is set.  Set BFD_COMPRESS_GABI on output_bfd
	for COMPRESS_DEBUG_GABI_ZLIB.
	* lexsup.c (elf_static_list_options): Add
	--compress-debug-sections=.
	* emultempl/elf32.em (OPTION_COMPRESS_DEBUG): New.
	(xtra_long): Add "compress-debug-sections".
	(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Handle
	OPTION_COMPRESS_DEBUG.

ld/testsuite/

	* ld-elf/compress.exp (build_tests): Add tests for
	--compress-debug-sections=.
	(run_tests): Likewise.
	Add additonal tests for --compress-debug-sections=.
	* ld-elf/gabiend.rt: New file.
	* ld-elf/gabinormal.rt: Likewise.
	* ld-elf/gnubegin.rS: Likewise.
	* ld-elf/gnunormal.rS: Likewise.
	* ld-elf/zlibbegin.rS: Likewise.
	* ld-elf/zlibnormal.rS: Likewise.
