We briefly referred to being able to specify --target=binary without
explaining what binary input/output meant. This change adds a section on
this.

+BINARY INPUT AND OUTPUT
+-----------------------
+
+If `binary` is used as the value for :option:`--input-target`, the input file
+will be embedded as a data section in an ELF relocatable object, with symbols
+``_binary_<file_name>_start``, ``_binary_<file_name>_end``, and
+``_binary_<file_name>_size`` representing the start, end and size of the data,
+where ``<file_name>`` is the path of the input file as specified on the command
+line with non-alphanumeric characters converted to ``_``.
+
+If `binary` is used as the value for :option:`--output-target`, the output file
+will be a raw binary file, containing the memory image of the input file.
+Symbols and relocation information will be discarded. The image will start at
+the address of the first loadable section in the output.
