    alpha: handle discarded got section
    
    This fixes testsuite failures I noticed when changing dynobj to be
    linker created, but I think the bug could be triggered by suitably
    crafted linker scripts without any dynobj changes.
    
            * elf64-alpha.c (elf64_alpha_final_link): Don't attempt to
            write out a got section that has been discarded.
