[ELF] Add -z nosectionheader
GNU ld since 2.41 supports this option, which is mildly useful. It omits
the section header table and non-ALLOC sections (including
.symtab/.strtab (--strip-all)).

This option is simple to implement and might be used by LLDB to test
program headers parsing without the section header table (#100900).

-z sectionheader, which is the default, is also added.
