PR21167, relocation sections not included in groups

This fixes a wart I've known about for years, but haven't done
anything about because BFD treats relocation sections as an adjunct to
the section they relocate.  SHF_GROUP on the section thus implicitly
applies to its relocation section(s), but it is an error that the
reloc sections aren't part of the group.

Like many patches to gas, this wasn't as straightforward as it could
be due to a number of backends, i386, cr16 and others, removing relocs
in tc_get_reloc rather than marking them as "done" earlier in
md_apply_reloc.  So it isn't possible for the group support to
reliably detect the presence of relocs by looking at fixups earlier
than write_relocs.  However the group support needs to create
signature symbols, and that must be done before the symbol table is
frozen, before write_relocs.  So split off the group sizing from
elf_adjust_symtab and put it in elf_frob_file_after_relocs.
