copy_object adds gap fills behind the back of bfd.
I'd like to separate bfd_convert_section_contents from
copy_section so that there aren't surprises in bfd.
When copy_object does

 /* This has to happen after the symbol table has been set.  */
  bfd_map_over_sections (ibfd, copy_section, obfd);

it should only copy bfd_section_size (obfd, osections[i]) - gaps[i],
not lying to bfd.
