PR 34353 objcopy: null-pointer dereference bfd/section.c:1433

objcopy --update-section specifying a SHT_GROUP section hits a case
where output_section is NULL.

	* objcopy.c (copy_object): Don't segfault when update_sections
	output_section is NULL.  Remove the "not found" part of
	existing error so this message can be used.
	* testsuite/binutils-all/update-section.exp: Update to suit.
