    Move ELF section headers to end of object file

    Currently, section ordering differs a little for non-loaded reloc
    sections output by ld -emit-relocs or ld -r and that after passing
    such objects through objcopy.  Not that it really matters, but it
    would be better for a simple objcopy to produce an unchanged output
    object file.  Also, section headers are put somewhere in the middle of
    the non-loaded sections, again slightly differently for ld and
    objcopy.  This patch fixes these discrepancies and puts section
    headers last, which is where gold puts them, and is where
    bfd_from_remote_memory wrongly assumed they will be found.

    bfd/
        * elf.c (assign_file_positions_except_relocs): Move section header
        placement to..
        (_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_relocs): ..here.  Make static.
        * elf-bfd.h (_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_relocs): Delete.
        * elflink.c (bfd_elf_final_link): Don't call above function.
