[PATCH 1/4] BFD: Remove unused SEC_HAS_GOT_REF section flag


Remove the SEC_HAS_GOT_REF section flag no longer in use since commit
a252afa4cdff ("Fix linking of PIC code on PA"),
<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2003-08/msg00467.html>, to make the 
bit position available for reuse.

	bfd/
	* section.c (SEC_HAS_GOT_REF): Remove macro.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.

Hi,

 There's no other mention of SEC_HAS_GOT_REF left across the tree and my 
usual targets still build.  OK to apply?
