[GOLD][PATCH] Set SHF_LINK_ORDER flags of ARM EXIDX sections.

[Doug Kwan (關振德)]

Hi

    This patch changes code writing output section headers so that the
SHF_LINK_ORDER flag of a section of type SHT_ARM_EXIDX is always set.
The flag is required to be set for such a section by the ARM EHABI.
The existing code drops the SHF_LINK_ORDER flag and that confuses
other tools.  Gold does not handle SHF_LINK_ORDER in general but the
ARM back-end can handle the EXIDX sections.
