* merge.c (struct sec_merge_hash_entry): Add u.entsize and u.suffix
fields, change sec into secinfo.
(struct sec_merge_info): Add chain, remove last fields.
(struct sec_merge_sec_info): Add next, sec, psecinfo fields.
(sec_merge_hash_lookup): If lookup could not use a string only
because it has bad alignment, mark the old string for deletion.
(sec_merge_add): Add secinfo argument. Don't compute entry's
position, instead record the section.
(sec_merge_emit): Update for the sec into secinfo change in
struct sec_merge_hash_entry.
(_bfd_merge_section): Only record the section for merging, defer
putting strings into the hash table.

_bfd_merge_sections): New functions.
(_bfd_merged_section_offset): Update for the sec_merge_hash_entry
changes.
