Complement commit b531344c34 ("PR ld/20828: Reorder the symbol sweep
stage of section GC") and commit 81ff47b3a5 ("PR ld/20828: Fix linker
script symbols wrongly forced local with section GC") and move symbol
version processing ahead of the symbol sweep stage of section GC, all in
`bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections', so that version symbols created stay in
the global scope and are not output as local symbols to the dynamic
symbol table in the presence of corresponding symbol definitions pulled
from a DSO involved in a link.
Consolidate the whole of symbol version processing into a single block
from all parts scattered across the function and rearranging the local
variables used as necessary, however leaving the setting of dynamic
entries associated with the DT_VERDEF, DT_VERDEFNUM, DT_VERNEED and
DT_VERNEEDNUM tags and the SEC_EXCLUDE flag for unused `.gnu.version'
section in the original places.
With the rearrangement of code blocks `Elf_Internal_Verneed *t' would
shadow the previous definition of `struct bfd_elf_version_tree *t', so
rename the former variable to `vn'.
