[PATCH] [PATCH] [ELF] Fix .init_array initialization

Hi ruiu, shankar.easwaran,

Some compilers may not add the section symbol in '.symtab' for the
.init_array and 'ldd' just ignore it.  It results in global constructor
not being called in final executable.

This patch add both '.init_array' and '.fini_array' to be added in
Atom graph generation even when the section contains no symbol.  An
already existing testcase is modified to check for such scenario.

The patch fixes the llvm test-suite regressions for both Single
and MultiSource files.
