binutils-2.37: add more patches from upstream release branch

Fetch in various patches from binutils-2_37-branch upstream.

The most vital change is the
0012-pr28391-strip-objcopy-preserve-dates-a-cannot-set-time.patch which
allows building large upstream projects like Qt WebEngine without need
100k's of file descriptors open.

+Subject: [PATCH] PR28391, strip/objcopy --preserve-dates *.a: cannot set time
+
+After commit 985e0264516 copy_archive function began to pass invalid
+values to the utimensat(2) function when it tries to preserve
+timestamps in ar archives.  This happens because the bfd_stat_arch_elt
+implementation for ar archives fills only the st_mtim.tv_sec part of
+the st_mtim timespec structure, but leaves the st_mtim.tv_nsec part
+and the whole st_atim timespec untouched leaving them uninitialized
+
+	PR 28391
+	* ar.c (extract_file): Clear buf for preserve_dates.
+	* objcopy.c (copy_archive): Likewise.

+Subject: [PATCH] ld: pru: Fix resource_table output section alignment
+
+My commit 261980de18b added alignment for the resource table symbol.
+But it is wrong.  The Linux remoteproc driver loads and interprets the
+contents of the .resource_table ELF section, not of a table symbol.
+
+Without this patch, if the linker happens to output padding for symbol
+alignment, then the resource table contents as viewed by the kernel
+loader would "shift" and look corrupted.
+
+ld/ChangeLog:
+
+	* scripttempl/pru.sc  (.resource_table): Align the output
+	section, not the first symbol.

+Subject: [PATCH] PR28459, readelf issues bogus warning
+
+I'd missed the fact that the .debug_rnglists dump doesn't exactly
+display the contents of the section.  Instead readelf rummages through
+.debug_info looking for DW_AT_ranges entries, then displays the
+entries in .debug_rnglists pointed at, sorted.  A simpler dump of the
+actual section contents might be more useful and robust, but it was
+likely done that way to detect overlap and holes.
+
+Anyway, the headers in .debug_rnglists besides the first are ignored,
+and limiting to the unit length of the first header fails if there is
+more than one unit.
+
+	PR 28459
+	* dwarf.c (display_debug_ranges): Don't constrain data to length
+	in header.

+	* layout.cc (Layout::create_note): Set order to ORDER_PROPERTY_NOTE
+	for the .note.gnu.property section.
