[PATCH v2] ld/ELF: explicitly place .note.gnu.property

x86 gas may produce .note.gnu.property by default. Hence the default
linker script would better also deal with that section, rather than
causing diagnostics when using --orphan-handling=. Replace all mis-
spellings that have accumulated.
To avoid needlessly relaxing expectations for two tests when run for
PPC 64-bit ELF targets, suppress the linker generating EH frame data
there.
---
Furthermore, the comment ahead of this block of directives has gone
stale with, afaict, the placement of .note.gnu.build-id near the
program headers: Orphan note sections are placed adjacent to that one if
--build-id= is in use. This pretty certainly wasn't intended, so may
also want/need fixing.
---
v2: Drop mis-spelled section ref. Correct mis-spelling in ld-aarch64/ as
well.
