Title:
  SRU: update binutils to the 2.38 branch and ignore lto-wrapper
  warnings

Status in binutils package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in binutils source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The tests sometimes fail with spurious lto-wrapper warnings and let
  the build fail. Ignore these warnings, they don't matter for the test
  outcome.

  Also apply four fixes from the binutils 2.38 branch:

    * SRU: LP: #1982105. Update from the binutils 2.38 branch:
      - Fix PR ld/29435: elf: Reset alignment for each PT_LOAD segment.
      - PowerPC64 pcrel got relocs against local symbols.
      - Fix PR ld/27998: i386: Don't allow GOTOFF relocation against
        IFUNC symbol for PIC.
      - Fix PR ld/29377: x86: Properly check invalid relocation against 
        protected symbol.
    * Ignore lto-wrapper warnings when running the testsuite.

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27998
  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29377

  All changes are already in 2.39 in kinetic, and 2.40 in lunar. The
  changes come with test cases, and pass when running the testsuite.
