MIPS/BFD: Fix section symbol name fetching in relocation
Symbol table entries for section symbols are different between IRIX and
traditional MIPS ELF targets in that IRIX entries have their `st_name'
member pointing at the section's name in the string table section, while
traditional entries have 0 there and the section header string table has
to be referred via the relevant section header's `shn_name' member
instead.
This is chosen with the `elf_backend_name_local_section_symbols' backend
and can be observed with `readelf -s' output for an IRIX object:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 12 entries:
Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name
0: 00000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND
1: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 1 .text
2: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 3 .data
3: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 4 .bss
4: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 5 .reginfo
5: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 6 .MIPS.abiflags
6: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 7 .pdr
7: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 9 .gnu.attributes
8: 00002000 16 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 foo
9: 00004008 0 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 1 abar
10: 00002008 0 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 1 afoo
11: 00004000 16 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 bar
and a corresponding traditional object:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 12 entries:
Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name
0: 00000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND
1: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 1
2: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 3
3: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 4
4: 00004008 0 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 1 abar
5: 00002008 0 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 1 afoo
6: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 5
7: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 6
8: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 7
9: 00000000 0 SECTION LOCAL DEFAULT 9
10: 00002000 16 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 foo
11: 00004000 16 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 bar
respectively. Consequently the right way to retrieve a section symbol's
name has to be chosen in `mips_elf_calculate_relocation' for the purpose
of error reporting.
Originally we produced symbol tables in the traditional object format
only and we handled it correctly until it was lost in a rewrite with:

probably because of the extra pointer indirection added which made the
same expression have a different meaning.
With the addition of IRIX symbol table format with:

the bug has been partially covered and now when a relocation error is
triggered with an IRIX object the offending section symbol is correctly
reported:
tmpdir/dump0.o: In function `foo':
(.text+0x2000): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `.text'
tmpdir/dump0.o: In function `bar':
(.text+0x4000): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `.text'
because `bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section' retrieves the name from the
string table section. With a traditional object however the function
returns an empty string and consequently `no symbol' is printed instead:
tmpdir/dump0.o: In function `foo':
(.text+0x2000): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `no symbol'
tmpdir/dump0.o: In function `bar':
(.text+0x4000): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `no symbol'
Restore the original semantics so that the section name is always
correctly retrieved.

section name if `bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section' returns an
empty string.
