[PATCH] Add --generate-unused-section-symbols=[yes|no]

For ELF targets, section symbols are required only for relocations.
With -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, there can be many unused
section symbols.  Sizes of libstdc++.a on Linux/x86-64 in GCC 11 are

With unused section symbols   : 39411698 bytes
Without unused section symbols: 39227002 bytes

The unused section symbols in libstdc++.a occupy more than 180 KB.

Add --generate-unused-section-symbols=[yes|no] to assembler, linker and
objcopy.  For assembler and linker, it controls whether to generate
unused section symbols.  For objcopy, section symbols in relocatable
inputs are always kept and --generate-unused-section-symbols=[yes|no]
controls whether to generate unused section symbols in non-relocatable
outputs.  Default can be controlled by the configure option,
--enable-generate-section-symbols.  Default to no for Linux/x86 targets.

Add BSF_SECTION_SYM_USED to indicate if a section symbol should be
included in the symbol table.  The BSF_SECTION_SYM_USED should be set
if the section symbol is used for relocation or the section symbol is
always included in the symbol table.
