This patch restricts the section names matched in coff_section_type,
a function that translates section names to symbol type, and arranges
to translate section flags to symbol type before looking at names.
The latter change resulted in various test failures due to improper
section flags being used in tests, and by the plugin support, so fix
that too.
The new test fails on many ELF targets that lack .init/fini_array
in their scripts. I've just xfailed those. pru-elf oddly defines
__init_array_begin rather than __init_array_start. I've left that
target as a FAIL, and pj-elf too which reports an error for undefined
weak symbols.

* syms.c (coff_section_type): Only allow '.', '$' and numeric
following the standard section names.
(bfd_decode_symclass): Prioritize section flag tests in
decode_section_type before name tests in coff_section_type.
* plugin.c (bfd_plugin_canonicalize_symtab): Init fake_section
and fake_common_section using BFD_FAKE_SECTION. Use "fake" as
their names and choose standard .text section flags for
fake_section.

PR21287 notes that .init_array is correctly given a type of
SHT_INIT_ARRAY while .init_array.nnn gets SHT_PROGBITS. This patch
fixes that problem, and properly drops warnings from the compiler that
would cause the testsuite to fail. My a44d0bd78 change to check
ld_compile status, necessary to pick up compile errors, also meant
warnings were not ignored.
