* output.cc (Output_file::open_for_modification): New method.

(Output_file::map_anonymous): Changed return type to bool.  Record
	map in base_ field.
	(Output_file::map_no_anonymous): New method, broken out of map.
	(Output_file::map): Use map_no_anonymous and map_anonymous.
	* output.h (class Output_file): Update declarations.
