Mihailo Stojanovic f16a9783c5 Add support for a MIPS specific .MIPS.xhash section.
This patch is a reimplementation of [1] which was submitted in 2015 by
Neil Schellenberger. Copyright issue was sorted out [2] last year.
It proposed a new section (.gnu.xhash) and related dynamic tag
(DT_GNU_XHASH). The new section would be virtually identical to the
existing .gnu.hash except for the translation table (xlat) which would
contain correct MIPS .dynsym indexes corresponding to the hashvals in
chains. This is because MIPS ABI imposes a different ordering on the
dynsyms than the one expected by the .gnu.hash section. Another addition
would be a leading word (ngnusyms) which would contain the number of
entries in the translation table.

  In this patch, the new section name and dynamic tag are changed to
reflect the fact that the section should be treated as MIPS-specific
(.MIPS.xhash and DT_MIPS_XHASH).

  This patch addresses the alignment issue as reported in [3], which is
caused by the leading word added to the .MIPS.xhash section. Leading word
is removed in this patch, and the number of entries in the translation
table is now calculated using DT_MIPS_SYMTABNO dynamic tag (this is
addressed by the corresponding glibc patch).

  Suggestions on coding style in [4] were taken into account. Existing
GNU hash testcase was covered, and another one was added in the MIPS
part of the testsuite.

  The other major change is reserving MIPS ABI version 5 for .MIPS.xhash,
marking the need of support for .MIPS.xhash in the dynamic linker (again,
addressed in the corresponding glibc patch). This is something which I
am not sure of, especially after reading [5]. I am confused on whether
this ABI version is reserved for IFUNC, or it can be used for this
purpose.

Already mentioned glibc patch is submitted at:
