PR25384, PowerPC64 ELFv1 copy relocs against function symbols

Function symbols of course don't normally want .dynbss copies but
with some old versions of gcc they are needed to copy the function
descriptor.  This patch restricts the cases where they are useful to
compilers using dot-symbols, and enables the warning regardless of
whether a PLT entry is emitted in the executable.  PLTs in shared
libraries are affected by a .dynbss copy in the executable.

bfd/
	PR 25384
	* elf64-ppc.c (ELIMINATE_COPY_RELOCS): Update comment.
	(ppc64_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol): Don't allow .dynbss copies
	of function symbols unless dot symbols are present.  Do warn
	whenever one is created, regardles of whether a PLT entry is
	also emitted for the function symbol.
ld/
	* testsuite/ld-powerpc/ambiguousv1b.d: Adjust expected output.
	* testsuite/ld-powerpc/funref.s: Align func_tab.
	* testsuite/ld-powerpc/funref2.s: Likewise.
	* testsuite/ld-powerpc/funv1.s: Add dot symbols.
