  Log Message:
  -----------
  [ELF] Change (NOLOAD) section type mismatch error to warning

Making a (NOLOAD) section SHT_PROGBITS is fishy (the user may expect all-zero
content, but the linker does not check that), but some projects (e.g. Linux
kernel https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1597) traditionally rely
on the behavior. Issue a warning to not break them.
