Committed: fix some regressions for MMIX due to early fail for -r --relax

[Hans-Peter Nilsson <hp at bitrange dot com>]

The May change reverted below was mistaken; the function
elf64-mmix.c:mmix_elf_relax_section handles relaxed relocatable links
quite nicely.  It really does handle it, not just by returning early.
Actually, --relax is forced on always for this target.  That -r works
(with the implicit --relax) is covered in the ld-mmix test-suite,
which should have been readily observable as regressions for that
patch.  Alas I have been lax myself in running the binutils
test-suites for MMIX.  Perhaps there was also confusion over the
failure of some test-cases involving -r:
...
Running /home/hp/binutils/src/ld/testsuite/ld-gc/gc.exp ...
FAIL: --gc-sections -r without -e
...
Running /home/hp/binutils/src/ld/testsuite/ld-libs/libs.exp ...
FAIL: -l: test
...
An additional "-m elf64-mmix" is required for "-r" to work properly;
else the output is in the mmo object format, which is not relocatable
(causing "-l: test" to fail).  Emitting non-relocatable output for -r
by default of course does not make sense, so I'll change it to emit
"elf64-mmix" rather than "mmo" when -r is active.  Also, an ENTRY is
mistakenly emitted in the default -r link-script, which causes mismatch
in the expected error message for "--gc-sections -r without -e".

This patch fixes the following regressions (others remaining):

Running /home/hp/binutils/src/ld/testsuite/ld-libs/libs.exp ...
FAIL: -l: test (preparation)
...
Running /home/hp/binutils/src/ld/testsuite/ld-mmix/mmix.exp ...
...
FAIL: ld-mmix/pushjs1r
FAIL: ld-mmix/pushjs2r
FAIL: ld-mmix/pushjs3r
FAIL: ld-mmix/pushjs4r

Committed.
