Keep .GCC.command.line sections of LTO objetcs

This patch is for .GCC.command.line sections in LTO objects to be copied
into the final objects as in the following example:

[egeyar@localhost lto]$ gcc -flto -O3 demo.c -c -g --record-gcc-command-line
[egeyar@localhost lto]$ gcc -flto -O2 demo2.c -c -g --record-gcc-command-line -DFORTIFY=2
[egeyar@localhost lto]$ gcc demo.o demo2.o -o a.out
[egeyar@localhost lto]$ readelf -p .GCC.command.line a.out

String dump of section '.GCC.command.line':
  [     0]  10.0.1 20200227 (experimental) : gcc -flto -O3 demo.c -c -g --record-gcc-command-line
  [    56]  10.0.1 20200227 (experimental) : gcc -flto -O2 demo2.c -c -g --record-gcc-command-line -DFORTIFY=2

	* simple-object.c (handle_lto_debug_sections): Name
	".GCC.command.line" among debug sections to be copied over
	from lto objects.
