When the linker sees an input object containing nothing but IR during
rescan, it should ignore it (LTO phase is over). But if the input object
is a fat IR object, which has non-IR code as well, it should be used to
resolve references as if it did not contain any IR at all. This patch
adds lto_type to bfd and linker avoids claiming a fat IR object if no IR
object should be claimed.
