Gustavo Niemeyer cf143e9dbf ld: fix ELF strip by removing overlap of sections
The gosymtab and gopclntab sections were pointing to the proper
data, but that data was already owned by the rodata section.
Some ELF references explicitly prohibit multiple sections from
owning the same data, and strip behaves accordingly.

The data for these sections was moved to after rodata, and the
gosymtab and gopclntab sections now own their respective ranges.

This change makes strip happy both with and without -s being
provided at link time.  Note that it won't remove these sections
because they are still allocated, and that's by design since
they are necessary at runtime for generating proper backtraces
and similar introspection operations.

Unlike the previous behavior, -s will now maintain zero-sized
gosymtab and gopclntab sections.  This makes the implementation
slightly cleaner.

Fixes #1242.

NOTE: Tested on Linux amd64/386/arm only.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
