This moves the SHF_LINK_ORDER sorting from bfd_elf_final_link to
the linker which means generic ELF targets now support SHF_LINK_ORDER
and we cope with odd cases that require resizing of output sections.
The patch also fixes two bugs in the current implementation,
introduced by commit cd6d537c48. The pattern test used by that
commit meant that sections matching something like
"*(.IA_64.unwind* .gnu.linkonce.ia64unw.*)" would not properly sort a
mix of sections matching the two wildcards. That commit also assumed
a stable qsort.

For non-relocatable link with SHF_LINK_ORDER inputs, allow mixed indirect
and data inputs with ordered and unordered inputs:
1. Add pattern to bfd_section for the matching section name pattern in
linker script and update BFD_FAKE_SECTION.
2. Sort the consecutive bfd_indirect_link_order sections with the same
pattern to allow linker script to overdide input section order.
3. Place unordered sections before ordered sections.
4. Change the offsets of the indirect input sections only.
