This patch removes the existing ".either" placement functionality from
place_orphan. With the addition of the new placement functionality in
Patch 2, this existing code is no longer necessary. place_orphan now
places all orphaned .either sections in the lower memory region.

The tests added in patch 2 pass when built with todays GCC trunk and
binutils master.
