It was reasonable to mark PT_PHDR segment with PF_X for compatibility
with UnixWare and Solaris linkers 20 years ago. But it is inappropriate
today when the primary OS of GNU ld is Linux. This patch removes PF_X
from PT_PHDR segment as gold does.
Tested natively on Linux/x86 as well as crosss-binutils for alpha-linux,
ia64-linux, powerpc64-linux, powerpc-linux, s390-linux, s390x-linux,
sparc64-linux and sparc-linux.

I was having a little closer look at what is going on here and noticed
that HJ unconditionally emits a NULL STT_FILE symbol before emitting
forced local symbols. That means we really don't need a second pass
over forced local symbols. The only reason for two passes is when
some forced local symbol can be emitted before the NULL STT_FILE. So
I set about removing the second pass, updating the testsuite all over
again. It's also unnecessary to emit the NULL STT_FILE when no
previous file symbol has been emitted.
