gold patch committed: More support for -m option

[Ian Lance Taylor]

Until now gold has been ignoring the -m option, which for GNU ld selects
the linker emulation.  PR 12934 reports that the Linux kernel build
relies on -m working, when using -m with -r and no real input files.
This patch implements support for -m along the lines of --oformat: each
target may specify the -m names which it matches.  This is not an exact
match of what GNU ld does, nor does it accept nearly all the names that
GNU ld accepts, but it is probably good enough for actual uses.
Committed to mainline.
