Subject: [gold patch] Don't allocate space in file for BSS sections

In a relocatable link, gold is allocating file space for BSS sections.
This patch avoids that by testing for SHT_NOBITS when updating the
file offset.

Tested on x86_64. OK to apply?

        * layout.cc (Layout::set_relocatable_section_offsets): Don't
        allocate space in file for BSS sections.
