bogus elf32-sh-symbian.c code

[Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com>]

I was looking at changing the interface to _bfd_elf_merge_symbol
yesterday, and noticed it wasn't static.  Odd, I thought, why would
any target need to use this particular function?  On looking, I see
elf32-sh-symbian.c uses it, and it's being called on a new symbol, so
there isn't anything to merge!  In fact, at the time this code was
contributed, bfd_elf_link_mark_dynamic_symbol didn't exist and
_bfd_elf_merge_symbol did nothing except create the new symbol.
Except that it isn't really supposed to create new symbols all by
itself, and misses setting up a few things, in this case u.undef.abfd.
The  correct function to call is _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol.

I have no idea why the following code was there.
-	      /* Allow the symbol to become local if necessary.  */
-	      if (new_hash->dynindx == -1)
-		new_hash->def_regular = 1;
dynindx will always be -1 as it's a new symbol, thus the test was
redundant.  Also it is quite odd to set def_regular on a
bfd_link_hash_undefined sym, so I've removed it.  Nick, do you recall
anything about this code?

	* elf-bfd.h (_bfd_elf_merge_symbol): Delete declaration.
	* elflink.c (_bfd_elf_merge_symbol): Make static.
	* elf32-sh-symbian.c (sh_symbian_relocate_section): Don't call
	_bfd_elf_merge_symbol, call _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol.
