[PATCH] readelf: Handle 0 sh_entsize of GOT sections for x86

Some linker sets sh_entsize on .got and .got.plt sections, for example
x86-64 Google chrome browser:

$ readelf -SW /opt/google/chrome/chrome | grep got
  [27] .got              PROGBITS        000000000fb29fc0 fb27fc0 001be0 00  WA  0   0  8
  [28] .got.plt          PROGBITS        000000000fb2bba0 fb29ba0 0029a8 00  WA  0   0  8
$

If sh_entsize of GOT sections is 0 for x86, assume 4 for i386 and 8 for
x86-64.

	PR binutils/33368
	* readelf.c (process_got_section_contents): Handle 0 sh_entsize
	of GOT sections for i386 and x86-64.
