gold patch committed: Better support for TLS and RELRO with scripts

This patch improves the support for TLS sections and RELRO sections
when using a linker script.  This probably does not fix all problems,
but it should improve matters.  This includes a small test case for
RELRO; before this patch, the test case would crash.

These problems were found linking glibc with a GNU ld linker script.
