Normally ELF symbol table should be sorted, i.e., local symbols precede
global symbols.  Irix 6 is an exception and its elf_bad_symtab is set
to true.  Issue an error if elf_bad_symtab is false and symbol table is
unsorted.

PR ld/33450
* elflink.c (set_symbol_value): Change return type to bool and
return false on error.  Issue an error on unsorted symbol table
if not allowed.
(elf_link_input_bfd): Return false if set_symbol_value reurns
false.
