[Bug binutils/21659] strings behaviour when called on a directory

Great Nick!

$ ld mydir
ld: cannot find mydir: File format not recognised

$ ar p mydir
ar: mydir: File format not recognised

I had a look at the others, I saw they have this kind of output below. Perhaps
"ar" and "ld" could be updated to say it is a directory, or not an ordinary
file.

$ objcopy mydir
objcopy: Warning: 'mydir' is not an ordinary file


Let me know if you prefer I create a separate ticket.
