Subject: ARM: Fix ld bloat introduced between binutils-2.38 and 2.39

ARM: Fix ld bloat introduced between binutils-2.38 and 2.39

Since commit 9833b7757d24, "PR28824, relro security issues",
ELF_MAXPAGESIZE matters much more, with regards to layout of
the linked file.  That commit fixed an actual bug, but also
exposes a problem for targets were that value is too high.

For example, for ARM(32, a.k.a. "Aarch32") specifically
bfd_arch_arm, it's set to 64 KiB, making all Linux(/GNU)
targets pay an extra amount of up to 60 KiB of bloat in
DSO:s and executables.  This matters when there are many
such files, and where storage is expensive.

It's *mostly* bloat when using a Linux kernel, as ARM(32) is
a good example of an target where ELF_MAXPAGESIZE is set to
an extreme value for an obscure corner-case.  The ARM
(32-bit) kernel has 4 KiB pages, has had that value forever,
and can't be configured to any other value.  The use-case is
IIUC "Aarch32" emulation on an "Aarch64" (arm64) kernel, but
not just that, but a setup where the Linux page-size is
configured to something other than the *default* 4 KiB.  Not
sure there actually any such systems in use, again with
both Aarch32 compatibility support and a non-4KiB pagesize,
with all the warnings in the kernel config and requiring the
"EXPERT" level set on.

So, let's do like x86-64 in a2267dbfc9e1 "x86-64: Use only
one default max-page-size" and set ELF_MAXPAGESIZE to 4096.

bfd:
	* elf32-arm.c (ELF_MAXPAGESIZE): Always set to 0x1000.
