check section overlap on relocatable links

This patch allows section overlap to be checked on a relocatable link. Usually
this is a silly thing to do, because all output sections are placed at 0.
However, for vxworks images it can be useful, as a non-default linker script may
be being used to place sections sequentially.
The patch changes the check_section_addresses flag to be trivalued, so we can
distinguish 'default' from explicitly off and explicitly on. When defaulted we
disable checking on relocatable linking (but it remains enabled on
non-relocatable links). Thus preserving the existing default behaviour.
tested in powerpc-elf. ok?
