Install elftoolchain elfcopy(1) as objcopy(1) by default
As of r295661 elfcopy supports PE format for EFI boot binaries and is a
viable objcopy implementation for the base system and ports.
The (temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set
to obtain the GNU version if necessary.
