This implements padding of orphan executable sections for PowerPC.
Of course, the simple implementation of bfd_arch_ppc_nop_fill and
removing the NOP definition didn't work, with powerpc64 hitting a
testsuite failure linking to S-records.  That's because the srec
target is BFD_ENDIAN_UNKNOWN so the test of bfd_big_endian (abfd) in
default_data_link_order therefore returned false, resulting in a
little-endian nop pattern.  The rest of the patch fixes that problem
by adding a new field to bfd_link_info that can be used to determine
actual endianness on targets like srec.
