Ignore (accept) SHT_LOOS...SHT_HIOS sections in elf64

Just FYI, attached patch is sufficient to make binutils happy on Solaris. 
Problem is that there is strange section named .SUNW_signature of an OS
specific type piggybacked on files which come with Solaris.

Problem is regression from 2.15.92 binutils.  Although they did not behave
quite correctly (they've completely ignored section, even not showing it in
objdump -h output), they did not fail with quite unexpected error that file
format is not recognized.

There are 11 section headers, starting at offset 0x308:
