Failing PowerPC VLE tests

[Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com>]

The failing VLE testcases annoyed me enough to fix them.  It turns out
that these failures
	FAIL: VLE multiple segments 1
	FAIL: VLE multiple segments 2
	FAIL: VLE multiple segments 3
are because ppc_elf_modify_segment_map isn't working.  The trouble
with using one of the packed bit section flags to mark VLE sections is
that these bits are not copied from input to output sections.
ppc_elf_modify_segment_map looks at output sections.  However, ELF
sh_flags are copied.  So use ELF sh_flags and get rid of the bfd
section flag entirely. 

These two failures
	FAIL: VLE relocations 2
	FAIL: VLE relocations 3
are due to the alignment of an empty .eh_frame affecting following
section addresses.  The cure is to use a custom linker script that
discards any unneeded sections.

bfd/
	* elf32-ppc.h (has_vle_insns, is_ppc_vle): Delete.
	(has_tls_reloc, has_tls_get_addr_call): Move back to..
	* elf32-ppc.c: ..here.
	(ppc_elf_section_flags, elf_backend_section_flags): Delete.
	(ppc_elf_modify_segment_map): Use ELF sh_flags to detect VLE sections.
opcodes/
	* ppc-dis.c: Don't include elf32-ppc.h, do include elf/ppc.h.
	(get_powerpc_dialect): Detect VLE sections from ELF sh_flags.
ld/testsuite/
	* ld-powerpc/vle.ld: New.
	* ld-powerpc/powerpc.exp (vle reloc tests): Link using vle.ld.
