Daniel Bertalan 4defa401d3 Toolchain+Ports: Update binutils to 2.41
Aside from a straightforward rebase, this contains an out-of-tree patch
from MaskRay which adds the `-Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions` flag to ld.

# Patches for binutils on SerenityOS
## `0001-Add-support-for-SerenityOS.patch`
Add support for SerenityOS
Teaches the assembler, BFD, and the linker about the SerenityOS target
triple.
We set '/' to not start a comment in GAS, as the QEMU port uses it for
division in constant expressions in assembly files (cf. as --divide).
`/usr/lib/Loader.so` is set as the default ELF interpreter.
On AArch64, we set `COMMONPAGESIZE` to enable RELRO support.
## `0002-ld-Add-Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions.patch`
ld: Add -Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions
This option is a subset of -Bsymbolic-functions: only STB_GLOBAL are
considered. Vague linkage functions are STB_WEAK. A vague linkage
function may have different addresses in a -Bsymbolic-functions linked
shared object and outside the shared object.
-Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions can keep pointer equality while providing
most benefits: (a) fewer JUMP_SLOT (symbol lookups) (b) avoid PLT
entries for default visibility defined functions.
