Subject: [PATCH][GOLD] Make .got the first non-RELRO section in the data segment.

Hi,

    This patch makes the .got section the first non-RELRO section in
the data segment on ARM target.   Previously, the .got section was
mistakenly treated as a RELRO section and that caused crashes in
dynamic objects on ARM Linux.  The patch also fixes a test that
counted the number of times certain section names appear.  The search
patterns used did not have a space in front so the test miscounted on
the ARM target due to suffixes in .ARM.exidx and .ARM.extab section
names.

        * arm.cc (Target_arm::got_section): Make the .got section the first
        non RELRO section in the data segment.
        * testsuite/script_test_5.sh: Fix match patterns to avoid matching
        suffixes of section names.
