[Bug gold/10979] Crashes during linking of program

[ian at airs dot com]

The problem with arj is that it passes in a linker script as an input file.  
The 
linker script is just

SECTIONS
{
 /DISCARD/ : { *(.comment) *(.note) *(.stab) *(.stabstr) }
}

The problem is that once gold sees a SECTIONS clause, it more or less has to go 
through the linker script processing.  When it sees a SECTIONS clause in an 
input file, it has already handled crt1.o and friends.  That fails, because 
they 
require special handling when using a linker script.

I thought about different ways to tackle this, but I finally decided to simply 
forbid it.  I committed this patch to give a sensible error for this case, 
rather than simply crashing.
