    Improve COFF/PE linker garbage collection by preventing the removal of
sections containing exported symbols.

        PR ld/19803
        * ldlang.c (lang_add_gc_name): New function.  Adds the provided
        symbol name to the list of gc symbols.
        (lang_process): Call lang_add_gc_name with entry_symbol_default if
        entry_symbol.name is NULL.  Use lang_add_gc_name to add the init
        and fini function names.
        * pe-dll.c (process_def_file_and_drectve): Add exported names to
        the gc symbol list.
        * testsuite/ld-pe/pr19803.s: Do not export _testval symbol.
        * testsuite/ld-pe/pr19803.d: Tweak expected output.
