This is a case where there is inconsistency among ELF linkers:
* The spec says nothing special about empty sections.
* BFD ld removes them.
* Gold handles them like regular sections.
We were outputting them but sometimes ignoring them. This would create
odd looking outputs where a rw section could be in a ro segment for example.
The bfd way of doing things is also strange for the case where a symbol
points to the empty section.
Now we match gold and what seems to be the intention of the spec.

The section header table index of the entry that is associated with the section name string table.

Previously, we reserved the first page for the program header, so no
sections would be written to very beginning of the output file.
FreeBSD requires .interp section be exist on the first page, so that
was not good.
This patch calculates the size of the program header and then assign
addresses to the sections. Now the first section is located next to
the program header. Because the first section is .interp, it's very
likely to be on the first page.

The dynamic section is finalized early because it adds strings to the dynamic string table, which comes before the dynamic table.
