Warn when an output section name is longer than 8 characters

Recent versions of Microsoft's dumpbin tool cannot handle such PE files. LLVM tools and GNU tools can, and use this to encode long section names like ".debug_info", which is commonly used for DWARF. Don't do this in mingw mode or when -debug:dwarf is passed, since the user probably wants long section names for DWARF sections.
