Rewrite __start and __stop symbol handling

This arranges for __start and __stop symbols to be defined before
garbage collection, for all target formats.  That should allow the
COFF and PE --gc-sections to keep a singleton orphan input section,
a feature lost by 2017-06-13 commit cbd0eecf26.  The fancier ELF
treatment of keeping all input sections associated with a __start or
__stop symbol, from 2015-10-23 commit 1cce69b9dc, is retained.

.startof. and .sizeof. symbols are deliberately not defined before
garbage collection, so these won't affect garbage collection of
sections.

The patch also ensures __start, __stop, .startof. and .sizeof. symbols
are defined before target size_dynamic_sections is called, albeit
with a preliminary value, so that target code doesn't need to cope
with a symbol changing from undefined at size_dynamic_sections to
defined at relocate_section.

Also, a number of problems with the testcases have been fixed.
