Allow the GNU gold-style nonstandard SHT_GROUP section.
The ELF standard defines that the SHT_GROUP section as follows: - its sh_link has the symbol index, and - the symbol name is used to uniquify section groups. Object files created by GNU gold does not seem to comply with the standard. They have this additional rule: - if the symbol has no name and a STT_SECTION symbol, a section name is used instead of a symbol name. If we don't do anything for this, the linker fails with a mysterious error message if input files are generated by gas. It is unfortunate but I think we need to support it.
