When rewriting the program headers, don't warn an empty PT_LOAD with the
program headers.

* elf.c (rewrite_elf_program_header): Don't warn if an empty
PT_LOAD contains the program headers.

* testsuite/ld-elf/pr30508.d: New file.
* testsuite/ld-elf/pr30508.s: Likewise.
no sections, but ordinary, loadable segments should contain
something. They are allowed by the ELF spec however, so only
a warning is produced.
+ Don't warn if an empty PT_LOAD contains the program headers.
There is however the valid use case of embedded systems which
have segments with p_filesz of 0 and a p_memsz > 0 to initialize
flash memory with zeros. No warning is shown for that case. */
