Change the linker's heuristic for computing the entry point for binaries so that shared libraries default to an entry point of 0.
* ldlang.c (lang_end): When computing the entry point, only
try the start address of the entry section when creating an
executable.
* ld.texi (Entry point): Update description of heuristic used to
choose the entry point.
