objdump -D of bss sections and -s with -j

There is some inconsistency between the behaviour of objdump -D and
objdump -s, both supposedly operating on all sections by default.
objdump -s ignores bss sections, while objdump -D dissassembles the
zeros.  Fix this by making objdump -D ignore bss sections too.

Furthermore, "objdump -s -j .bss" doesn't dump .bss as it should,
since the user is specifically asking to look at all those zeros.

This change does find some tests that used objdump -D with expected
output in bss-style sections.  I've updated all the msp430 tests that
just wanted to find a non-empty section to look at section headers
instead, making the tests slightly more stringent.  The ppc xcoff and
spu tests are fixed by adding -j options to objdump, which makes the
tests somewhat more lenient.

binutils/
* objdump.c (disassemble_section): Ignore sections without
contents, unless overridden by -j.
(dump_section): Allow -j to override the default of not
displaying sections without contents.
* doc/binutils.texi (objdump options): Update -D, -s and -j
description.
gas/
* testsuite/gas/ppc/xcoff-tls-32.d: Select wanted objdump
sections with -j.
* testsuite/gas/ppc/xcoff-tls-64.d: Likewise.
