Test case for secrel32

Attempting to use SECREL32 relocation for generating TLS offsets on Windows
works perfectly if the symbol is defined in the object file it is used.

However when the symbol is defined in different object file it generates the
offset against ".text".

The following lines of code appear in coff_i386_rtype_to_howto of
bfd/coff-i386.c and I believe should account for that.  But it doesn't and I
found it odd that h->type was used when similar tests used h->root.type.

if (h && (h->type == bfd_link_hash_defined
    || h->type == bfd_link_hash_defweak))
        osect_vma = h->root.u.def.section->output_section->vma;

After changing from h->type to h->root.type the problem went away.
