objcopy --only-keep-debug

From: Peilin Ye <peilin.ye@bytedance.com>
objcopy's --only-keep-debug option has been broken for ELF files since
commit 8c803a2dd7d3.

  1. binutils/objcopy.c:setup_section() marks non-debug sections as
     SHT_NOBITS, then calls bfd_copy_private_section_data();
  2. If ISEC and OSEC share the same section flags,
     bfd/elf.c:_bfd_elf_init_private_section_data() restores OSEC's
     section type back to ISEC's section type, effectively undoing
     "make_nobits".

* objcopy.c (setup_section): Act on make_nobits after calling
bfd_copy_private_section_data.
