[llvm-objcopy][llvm-strip] Add switch to allow removing referenced sections

llvm-objcopy currently emits an error if a section to be removed is
referenced by another section. This is a reasonable thing to do, but is
different to GNU objcopy. We should allow users who know what they are
doing to have a way to produce the invalid ELF. This change adds a new
switch --allow-broken-links to both llvm-strip and llvm-objcopy to do
precisely that. The corresponding sh_link field is then set to 0 instead
of an error being emitted.

I cannot use llvm-readelf/readobj to test the link fields because they
emit an error if any sections, like the .dynsym, cannot be properly
loaded.
