ECOFF ar failures


Fixes a fortify *** buffer overflow detected ***: ..../binutils/ar
terminated for mips-ecoff, and some horrible code using the wrong
struct leading to further ar failures.  I could have obfuscated the
code to work around the fortify problem, since the "overflow" is just
into the next field of the ar header which is then subsequently
written.  Instead I opted to use _bfd_ar_spacepad, a function invented
for exactly this situation.

	* ecoff.c: Don't include aout/ranlib.h.
	(_bfd_ecoff_slurp_armap): Use correct struct for ardata->symdefs.
	(_bfd_ecoff_write_armap): Output ar_date and ar_size using
	_bfd_ar_spacepad.
