ELF size_dynamic_sections is called by the ELF backend linker after all
the linker input files have been seen but before the section sizes have
been set. After the sections sizes have been set, target-specific,
global optimizations may make some dynamic sections zero-sized if they
are no longer needed.
Add ELF strip_zero_sized_dynamic_sections so that ELF backend linker can
strip zero-sized dynamic sections after the sections sizes have been set.

elf_backend_strip_zero_sized_dynamic_sections.
* testsuite/ld-alpha/tlsbinr.rd: Updated.
It was reasonable to mark PT_PHDR segment with PF_X for compatibility
with UnixWare and Solaris linkers 20 years ago. But it is inappropriate
today when the primary OS of GNU ld is Linux. This patch removes PF_X
from PT_PHDR segment as gold does.
Tested natively on Linux/x86 as well as crosss-binutils for alpha-linux,
ia64-linux, powerpc64-linux, powerpc-linux, s390-linux, s390x-linux,
sparc64-linux and sparc-linux.
