Haiku/testsuite: Enable ELF tests

This series enables ELF tests for Haiku, addressing previous shortcomings and potential regressions across Haiku targets.

This patch series enables ELF tests for the Haiku operating system in the binutils testsuite. The series includes preparatory changes to avoid regressions across different Haiku targets. The proposer notes that most changes are testsuite-related, with one addressing missing veneer sections in the ARM/Haiku linker scripts. The approved non-ARM patches will be committed, and the ARM maintainers will handle the ARM-specific fixes.

In Details

This series enables ELF tests in the binutils testsuite for the Haiku OS. It involves changes to testsuite configurations and potentially linker scripts (ldscripts). Enabling these tests provides better coverage and validation of binutils functionality on Haiku, across different architectures.

For Context

Binutils is a collection of binary tools, such as the linker and assembler, essential for software development. Testsuites verify the correctness of these tools across different platforms. This patch series enables the ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) tests for the Haiku operating system within the binutils testsuite, ensuring that the tools function correctly on Haiku.
