[ELF2] Fix binaries so they actually run on FreeBSD.

[davide]

Summary

Since FreeBSD 4.1, the kernel expects binaries to be marked with ELFOSABI_FREEBSD in the ELF header to exec() them.
LLD unconditionally sets OSABI to ELF_OSABINONE, and everything linked with it won't run on FreeBSD (unless explicitly rebranded).

% ./aarch64-hello
ELF binary type "0" not known.
zsh: exec format error: ./aarch64-hello

FreeBSD could be modified to accept ELF_OSABINONE, but that would break all existing binaries, so the kernel needs to support both ABINONE and ABIFREEBSD. I plan to push this change in FreeBSD one day, which, unfortunately, is not today.
This code patches lld so it sets the header field correctly.

For completeness, the rationale of this change is explained in the FreeBSD commit message, and it's apparently to pleasee binutils maintainers at the time.

Side note: this matches what gold does on FreeBSD.

Note that by default on FreeBSD/arm64 we currently set OS/ABI to NONE (aka SYSV) and rely on the ELF note:

After discussion with some other devs I learned some archs use OS/ABI field as fallback but still the PT_NOTE segment put in zero page is mandatory because the kernel looks at it to decide (at least on aarch64/arm). So, I think this should go in still and I'll make another patch to generate PT_NOTE.

What do you think, Ed?

I agree.

I pinged Rafael and he told I can just copy the osabi value blindly
now that he changed MC to always emit OSABINONE for linux.
Phab ate the inline comment :(

Ah, sounds good to me.
