Don't edit bogus sh_link on reading relocatable objects (Oracle fix)

This reverts a 1995 fix to handle bogus object files.  Presumably such
object files have long gone.

	* elf.c (bfd_section_from_shdr): Remove old hack for Oracle
	libraries.

/* For some incomprehensible reason Oracle distributes
libraries for Solaris in which some of the objects have
bogus sh_link fields. It would be nice if we could just
reject them, but, unfortunately, some people need to use
them. We scan through the section headers; if we find only
one suitable symbol table, we clobber the sh_link to point
to it. I hope this doesn't break anything.
Don't do it on executable nor shared library. */
