gold patch committed: Don't do shstrtab after other sections

I noticed that the .shstrtab section is marked to be done after all
input sections are complete.  That is only necessary if some section
names can change, and that only happens if we are compressing debug
sections.  I suspect that we can avoid it even in that case, but in
case this is a conservative change which should make the linker
infinitesimally faster.  Committed to mainline.

	* layout.cc (Layout::create_shstrtab): Only write out after input
	sections if we are compressing debug sections.
