Backport trunk patch for plumbing '--pic-veneer' for gold.
This patch is needed by Chromecast team, they need this to gold-link
ToT kernel. Hopefully, this be the last patch before binutils upgrade.
This absolutely should not affect prior testing results. It makes
--pic-vener a valid option under gold (the implementation has been
there long ago). And we don't have anypackage in chromeos land that
has this linker option on.
