(is_strip_section): Return true for SHT_GROUP sections that are
going to lose their group signature symbol.

(copy_object): If bfd_alt_mach_code fails emit a more helpful message
and if the target architecture is ELF use the alternative as replacement
value for the e_machine number.
(copy_main): Use strtoul to parse the number provided with the
--alt-mach-code switch.
* doc/binutils.texi (--alt-mach-code): Document that this switch can now
set the absolute e_machine value.
* objcopy.c (copy_object): For PE format targets set the VMA of a newly
created gnu_debuglink section to a non-zero, aligned, contiguous value.

(long_options): Rename --no-types to --types.
(usage): Likewise.
(demangle_it): Add a comment describing why _ and $ prefixes are skipped.
Use printf rather than puts to emit the demangled output in order to avoid
emitting a new line character.
(main): Have the -t flag enable type demangling.
Emit a newline after every demangled command line argument.
Copy whitespace from stdin to stdout.
* doc/binutils.texi (c++filt): Document the change to the -t switch.
Document why demangling names on the command line is slightly different
to demangling names read from the standard input.
