ELF: allow non allocated sections to go into allocated sections

Patch from Andrew Kelley.

For context, see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39862

The use case is embedded / OS programming where the kernel wants
access to its own debug info via mapped dwarf info. I have a proof of
concept of this working, using this linker script snippet:

  .rodata : ALIGN(4K) {
    *(.rodata)
    __debug_info_start = .;
    KEEP(*(.debug_info))
    __debug_info_end = .;
    __debug_abbrev_start = .;
    KEEP(*(.debug_abbrev))
    __debug_abbrev_end = .;
    __debug_str_start = .;
    KEEP(*(.debug_str))
    __debug_str_end = .;
    __debug_line_start = .;
    KEEP(*(.debug_line))
    __debug_line_end =
    .;
    __debug_ranges_start
    = .;
    KEEP(*(.debug_ranges))
    __debug_ranges_end
    = .;
  }
