[PATCH][gold] gold/PR16711 Linker script causes gold to include .bss in output file.

Hi,

If a linker script is used, all output sections of a segment are stored
in the first item of output_lists_. On the other hand, when calculating
the file size of segments, gold adds sections from all chunks of
output_lists_ up to index ORDER_SMALL_BSS. As a result, if a linker
script with SECTIONS clause is used, all the sections contribute to the
file size of the segment, even though some of them might be BSS.

This patch addresses the issue by analyzing section types, excluding
BSS sections at the end of the sequence from contributing to the file
offset, regardless of their index in output_lists_.

Best regards,
Igor Kudrin
