	  sorting of text sections

    Make linker scripts and section ordering via --section-ordering-file or
    linker plugins work. This patch lets linker scripts take precedence.

    2013-01-09  Sriraman Tallam  <tmsriram@google.com>

        * output.h (sort_attached_input_sections): Change to be public.
        * script-sections.cc
        (Output_section_definition::set_section_addresses): Sort
        attached input sections according to section order before linker
        script assigns section addresses.
        (Orphan_output_section::set_section_addresses): Sort
        attached input sections according to section order before linker
        script assigns section addresses.
        * Makefile.am (final_layout.sh): Use a simple linker script to
        check if section ordering still works.
        * Makefile.in: Regenerate.

        * layout.cc (Layout::special_ordering_of_input_section): New
        function.
        (Layout::layout): If input section requires special ordering, must
        sort input sections.
        (Layout::make_output_section): May sort .text input sections.
        (Layout::is_section_name_prefix_grouped): Remove.
        * layout.h (class Layout): Declare
        special_ordering_of_input_section.  Don't declare
        is_section_name_prefix_grouped.
        * output.cc (Output_section::add_input_section): Revert last
        change.
        (Output_section::Input_section_sort::match_file_name): Don't crash
        if called on output section data.
        (Output_section::Input_section_sort_compare): Sort based on
        special ordering.
        (Output_section::Input_section_sort_section_order_index_compare):
        Revert last patch.
        (Output_section::sort_attached_input_sections): Likewise.
