Fix e_flags for 32-bit MIPS targets in generated object file

In #95604 the compiler started generating a temporary symbols.o which is added to the linker invocation. This object file has an `e_flags` which is invalid for 32-bit MIPS targets. Even though symbols.o doesn't contain code, linking these targets with [lld fails](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/lld/ELF/Arch/MipsArchTree.cpp#L76-L79) with
```
rust-lld: error: foo-cgu.0.rcgu.o: ABI 'o32' is incompatible with target ABI 'n64'
```
because it omits the ABI bits (`EF_MIPS_ABI_O32`) so lld assumes it's using the N64 ABI. This breaks linking on nightly for the out-of-tree [mipsel-sony-psx target](https://github.com/ayrtonm/psx-sdk-rs/issues/9), the builtin mipsel-sony-psp target (cc `@overdrivenpotato)` and probably any other 32-bit MIPS target using lld.

This PR sets the ABI in `e_flags` to O32 since that's the only ABI for 32-bit MIPS that LLVM supports. It also sets other `e_flags` bits based on the target to avoid similar issues with the object file arch and PIC. I had to bump the object crate version since some of these constants were [added recently](https://github.com/gimli-rs/object/pull/433). I'm not sure if this PR needs a test, but I can confirm that it fixes the linking issue on both targets I mentioned.
