gold patch committed: Don't error on same redefinition


This patch to gold avoids giving an error if a symbol is redefined with
the same object and value.  This fixes the test case in PR 12893, in
which the symbol is defined both with and without a version in an object
file using .symver, and then the symbol with no version is given the
same version again by a version script.  Committed to mainline.
