add-symbol patch

Objcopy allows to strip/remove and manipulate all kinds of symbols in an
object. Sometimes it might be useful to be able to ADD a symbol too.

The attached patch does just that. It adds the --add-symbol option (can be used
multiple times) that allows to add a new symbol to the end of the symbol table
with an arbitrary absolute value.

If this is found useful, I can add the functionality to allow adding symbols
relative to a specific section too. The patch was made for the FC21 binutils
(2.24-32).
