Complement commit e17b0c351f ("MIPS/BFD: Respect the ELF gABI dynamic
symbol table sort requirement") and correct an inconsistency in dynamic
symbol accounting data causing an assertion failure in the MIPS backend:
ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.28.51.20170330 assertion fail
../../binutils-gdb/bfd/elfxx-mips.c:3860
in the course of making a GOT entry in a static binary to satisfy a GOT
relocation present in input, due to the local dynamic symbol count not
having been established.
To do so let backends request `_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms' to be
always called, rather than where a dynamic binary is linked only, and
then make this request in the MIPS backend.
