    Fix internal error in gold when script uses section address in assignment.
    
    When processing assignment expressions in a linker script, gold processes
    absolute assignments early, but when one of those assignments involves the
    address of a section that has not yet been finalized, we get an internal
    error in address. This patch fixes the problem by gracefully returning
    from expression evaluation even if the address is not yet valid, and
    deferring the assignment in such a case.
    
    gold/
    	PR gold/14746
    	* expression.cc (Expression::Expression_eval_info): Add
    	is_valid_pointer field.
    	(Expression::eval_maybe_dot): Add is_valid_pointer parameter.
    	Adjust all callers.
    	(Addr_expression::value_from_output_section): Check whether address
    	is valid.
    	* script.cc (Symbol_assignment::set_if_absolute): Defer assignment
    	if evaluation failed due to address that is not yet valid.
    	* script.h: (Expression::eval_maybe_dot): Add is_valid_pointer
    	parameter.
