cmd/ld: do not assume that only pe section names start with '.'

Our current pe object reader assumes that every symbol starting with
'.' is section. It appeared to be true, until now gcc 4.9.1 generates
some symbols with '.' at the front. Change that logic to check other
symbol fields in addition to checking for '.'. I am not an expert
here, but it seems reasonable to me.

Added test, but it is only good, if tested with gcc 4.9.1. Otherwise
the test PASSes regardless.

Fixes issue 8811.
Fixes issue 8856.
