Output section type (READONLY)

[Nick Clifton]

  Hi Guys,

   I have gone ahead and applied an update form of Fanguri's patch (attached).

   I extended the patch so that READONLY and type=<typename> can be used together
   if desired, like this:

     .ro.note   (READONLY (TYPE=SHT_NOTE)) : { LONG(5678); }

   (I chose this particular syntax because it was the easiest to implement.

   Other than that the patch retains all of the features in the original submission:

Cheers
