[PATCH] ld: testsuite: Relax libgot-1-i386 test for Solaris [PR33350]

When running the ld testsuite with -melf_i386_sol2 instead of -melf_i386
on Solaris, one test regresses:

FAIL: Build libgot-1-i386.so

The issue is that one line in the --got-contents output differs
unexpectedly:

 Global Offset Table '.got.plt' contains 4 entries:
    Index:  Address      Reloc             Sym. Name + Addend/Value
-       0: 00200200                        20016c
-       1: 00200204                        0
-       2: 00200208                        0
-       3: 0020020c R_386_JUMP_SLOT        bar + 156
+       0: 00200270                        2001dc
+       1: 00200274                        0
+       2: 00200278                        0
+       3: 0020027c R_386_JUMP_SLOT        bar + 1c6

While ld-i386/libgot-1.rd already allows for differences in the
addresses, the addend is assumed to be fixed.  However, this is not the
case with -melf_i386_sol2.  The difference is that .hash, .dynsym, and
.symtab have additional entries as required by the Solaris ABI:

* In .dynsym and .symtab, _DYNAMIC, _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, and
  _PROCEDURE_LINKAGE_TABLE_ are added.

* .symtab also gains _END_ and _START_.

This explains the differences in addresses and addends, but they are
completely benign.

This patch thus allows for arbitrary addends.

Tested on {i386,amd64}-pc-solaris2.11 with both -melf_i386_sol2 and
-melf_i386, and {i686,x86_64}-pc-linux-gnu.

Ok for trunk?

This is the last of the failures originally reported in PR ld/33350.
