    x86: Add _bfd_elf_x86_copy_special_section_fields
    
    When Linux/x86 objcopy is used on Solaris binary, it sets EI_OSABI to
    ELFOSABI_SOLARIS, but it doesn't set the sh_info and sh_link fields of
    Solaris specific sections.
    
    Add _bfd_elf_x86_copy_special_section_fields to return false for Solaris
    binary to properly set the sh_info and sh_link fields of Solaris specific
    sections.
