    objcopy: bfd_alloc orelocation
    
    This fixes an inconsequential objcopy memory leak.  I'd normally
    ignore reports of leaks like this one, that are merely one block or
    fewer per section processed, since objcopy soon exits and frees all
    memory.  However I thought it worth providing support for allocating
    memory on a bfd objalloc in objcopy and other utils.
    
            PR 29233
            * bucomm.c (bfd_xalloc): New function.
            * bucomm.h (bfd_xalloc): Declare.
            * objcopy.c (copy_relocations_in_section): Use it to allocate
            array of reloc pointers.  Rewrite code stripping relocs to do
            without extra memory allocation.
