[PATCH 6/6] Haiku/testsuite: Mark target as ELF

All the Haiku targets are ELF:

$ sed -n '/haiku/{n;p}' < bfd/config.bfd
    targ_defvec=aarch64_elf64_le_vec
    targ_defvec=arm_elf32_le_vec
    targ_defvec=x86_64_elf64_vec
    targ_defvec=i386_elf32_vec
    targ_defvec=m68k_elf32_vec
    targ_defvec=mips_elf32_le_vec
    targ_defvec=powerpc_elf32_vec
    targ_defvec=sparc_elf64_vec
$ 

so update `is_elf_format' accordingly, complementing commit d85e70a35bff 
("Add support for the haiku operating system.") and fixing regressions:

aarch64-haiku  -FAIL: GNU attributes v1/v2: no support for directive .gnu_attribute
aarch64-haiku  -FAIL: GNU attributes v2: no support for directive .gnu_subsection
arm-haiku  -FAIL: GNU attributes v1/v2: no support for directive .gnu_attribute
m68k-haiku  -FAIL: GNU attributes v1/v2: no support for directive .gnu_attribute
mipsel-haiku  -FAIL: GNU attributes v1/v2: no support for directive .gnu_attribute
powerpc-haiku  -FAIL: GNU attributes v1/v2: no support for directive .gnu_attribute
sparc64-haiku  -FAIL: GNU attributes v1/v2: no support for directive .gnu_attribute
sparc64-haiku  -FAIL: sparc relax CALL (a.out)

while widely broadening coverage, e.g. with `i486-haiku' we now get:

		=== binutils Summary ===

# of expected passes		230
# of untested testcases		18
# of unsupported tests		21

		=== gas Summary ===

# of expected passes		1066
# of unsupported tests		17

		=== ld Summary ===

# of expected passes		595
# of expected failures		2
# of untested testcases		26
# of unsupported tests		215

vs:

		=== binutils Summary ===

# of expected passes		77
# of untested testcases		13
# of unsupported tests		11

		=== gas Summary ===

# of expected passes		806
# of unsupported tests		4

		=== ld Summary ===

# of expected passes		188
# of expected failures		2
# of untested testcases		16
# of unsupported tests		62

The following regressions yet need to be addressed:

arm-haiku  +FAIL: script-type
arm-haiku  +FAIL: Branch future relocations for armv8.1-m.main target
arm-haiku  +FAIL: Mixed ARM/Thumb arch5 dynamic application
arm-haiku  +FAIL: Thumb-2-as-Thumb-1 BL
arm-haiku  +FAIL: Thumb-2 BL bad noeabi
arm-haiku  +FAIL: .noinit sections
arm-haiku  +FAIL: .persistent sections
m68k-haiku  +FAIL: DT_TEXTREL map file warning
m68k-haiku  +FAIL: pr20995
m68k-haiku  +FAIL: pr20995-2
powerpc-haiku  +FAIL: Build pr20995-2.so
powerpc-haiku  +FAIL: pr20995-2

There are the usual regressions with `mipsel-haiku' as well coming from 
the use of the IRIX variant of the ELF format, to be handled separately.
