Update `readelf' symbol table dump match patterns to handle SHN_MIPS_DATA
and SHN_MIPS_TEXT special section indexes produced by the IRIX ELF format
variation used with a number of MIPS targets and printed by `readelf' as
PRC[0xff02] and PRC[0xff01] respectively, correcting LD test suite
failures:
extra regexps in .../ld/testsuite/ld-elf/comm-data1.sd starting with "^ +[0-9]+: +[0-9a-f]+ +0 +OBJECT +GLOBAL +DEFAULT +[0-9]+ +foo$"

observed due to file contents like:
7: 5ffe02e8 0 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT PRC[0xff02] foo
shown by `readelf -s' vs:
+[0-9]+: +[0-9a-f]+ +0 +OBJECT +GLOBAL +DEFAULT +[0-9]+ +foo
pattern expected, triggered by widening testing to these targets by commit

* testsuite/ld-elf/comm-data1.sd: Alternatively accept
`PRC[0xff02]' in place of a regular section index.
* testsuite/ld-elf/pr21703-shared.sd: Likewise `PRC[0xff01]'.
xfail tests for certain targets.
Check shared library support for shared test.
Relax pr21703-r.sd and pr21703-shared.sd with additional "#..." pattern lines.
ld/
* testsuite/ld-elf/elf.exp: xfail pr21703 tests on specific targets.
Only run shared lib test for targets which support it.
* testsuite/ld-elf/pr21703-r.sd: Adjust the expected output.
* testsuite/ld-elf/pr21703-shared.sd: Likewise.
The behavior of _bfd_elf_merge_symbol and _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol is
inconsistent.
In multiple definition case, _bfd_elf_merge_symbol decided to override the old
symbol definition with the new defintion, (size, type, target data)
In _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol, it simply return without doing anything
because of allow-multiple-definition is provided.
This leaves the symbol in a wrong state.
Here, following the documentation, I made this patch to force the old definition
override the new definition if the old symbol is not dynamic or weak.
Because, in those two cases, it's expected to do some merge. I have checked
that, those two cases are properly handled.
