[ELF] Allow sections after a non-SHF_ALLOC section to be covered by PT_LOAD

GNU ld allows sections after a non-SHF_ALLOC section to be covered by PT_LOAD
(PR37607) and assigns addresses to non-SHF_ALLOC output sections (similar to
SHF_ALLOC NOBITS sections. The location counter is not advanced).

This patch tries to fix PR37607 (remove a special case in
`Writer<ELFT>::createPhdrs`). To make the created PT_LOAD meaningful, we cannot
reset dot to 0 for a middle non-SHF_ALLOC output section. This results in
removal of two special cases in LinkerScript::assignOffsets. Non-SHF_ALLOC
non-orphan sections can have non-zero addresses like in GNU ld.

The zero address rule for non-SHF_ALLOC sections is weakened to apply to orphan
only. This results in a special case in createSection and findOrphanPos, respectively.
