[ELF] Support INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] for orphan sections

D43468+D44380 added INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] for non-orphan sections. This patch
makes INSERT work for orphan sections as well.

`SECTIONS {...} INSERT [AFTER|BEFORE] .foo` does not set `hasSectionCommands`, so the result
will be similar to a regular link without a linker script. The differences when `hasSectionCommands` is set include:

* image base is different
* -z noseparate-code/-z noseparate-loadable-segments are unavailable
* some special symbols such as `_end _etext _edata` are not defined

The behavior is similar to GNU ld:
INSERT is not considered an external linker script.

This feature makes the section layout more flexible. It can be used to:

* Place .nv_fatbin before other readonly SHT_PROGBITS sections to mitigate relocation overflows.
* Disturb the layout to expose address sensitive application bugs.
