Skip PLT for function pointer initialization

We use its PLT entry to initialize function pointer at run-time.  If
there is no other usage for the PLT entry, we can generate run-time
function pointer relocations in read-write section, which can be
resolved by dynamic linker, to initialize function pointers.  It avoids
the extra indirect branch overhead in PLT.

	PR ld/18900
	* elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_link_hash_entry): Add
	func_pointer_refcount.
	(elf_i386_link_hash_newfunc): Clear func_pointer_refcount.
	(elf_i386_get_local_sym_hash): Likewise.
	(elf_i386_copy_indirect_symbol): Also copy
	func_pointer_refcount.
	(elf_i386_check_relocs): Increment func_pointer_refcount.
	(elf_i386_gc_sweep_hook): Decrement func_pointer_refcount.
	(elf_i386_allocate_dynrelocs): Don't create the PLT entry if
	there are only function pointer relocations which can be
	resolved at run-time.  Keep dynanamic relocations for run-time
	function pointer initialization.
	(elf_i386_relocate_section): Copy dynamic function pointer
	relocations.
	* elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_link_hash_entry): Add
