    ld: Improve thin archive member error message

    Improve thin archive member error message with:

    ld: libbar.a(bar.o): error opening thin archive member: No such file or
directory

    instead of

    ld: libbar.a: error adding symbols: No such file or directory

            PR ld/28722
            * archive.c (_bfd_get_elt_at_filepos): Add a pointer argument
            for struct bfd_link_info.  Call linker callback when failing to
            open thin archive member.
            (_bfd_generic_get_elt_at_index): Pass NULL to
            _bfd_get_elt_at_filepos.
            (bfd_generic_openr_next_archived_file): Likewise.
            * coff-alpha.c (alpha_ecoff_get_elt_at_filepos): Add a pointer
            argument for struct bfd_link_info and pass it to
            _bfd_get_elt_at_filepos.
            (alpha_ecoff_openr_next_archived_file): Pass NULL to
            _bfd_get_elt_at_filepos.
            (alpha_ecoff_get_elt_at_index): Likewise.
            * coff-rs6000.c (_bfd_xcoff_openr_next_archived_file): Likewise.
            * ecoff.c (ecoff_link_add_archive_symbols): Pass info to
            backend->get_elt_at_filepos.
            * elflink.c (elf_link_is_defined_archive_symbol): info to
            _bfd_get_elt_at_filepos.
            * libbfd-in.h (_bfd_get_elt_at_filepos): Add a pointer argument
            for struct bfd_link_info.
            * libbfd.h: Regenerate.

            _bfd_get_elt_at_filepos.
