For x86-64 the initial executable TLS block is placed directly before the
thread specific data register so compilers can directly access it via
R_X86_64_TPOFF32. Generate the correct (negative) offset for this case.

This does not support TPOFF32 relocations to local symbols as the address calculations are separate. Support for this will be a separate patch.

This is a case where there is inconsistency among ELF linkers:
* The spec says nothing special about empty sections.
* BFD ld removes them.
* Gold handles them like regular sections.
We were outputting them but sometimes ignoring them. This would create
odd looking outputs where a rw section could be in a ro segment for example.
The bfd way of doing things is also strange for the case where a symbol
points to the empty section.
Now we match gold and what seems to be the intention of the spec.

GNU linkers accept both variants and at least for MIPS target gcc passes
joined variant of the '-m' option.

This matches ld.bfd and ld.gold behavior. The change is simple enough
and avoid trouble to consumers (they don't have to change their Makefiles).
Side note: found while trying to build FreeBSD base system with lld.

.eh_frame sections need to be preserved if they refer to live sections.
So the liveness relation is reverse for eh_frame sections. For now,
we simply preserve all .eh_frame sections. Thanks Rafael for pointing
this out. .jcr are kept for the same reason.

Section garbage collection is a feature to remove unused sections
from outputs. Unused sections are sections that cannot be reachable
from known GC-root symbols or sections. Naturally the feature is
implemented as a mark-sweep garbage collector.
In this patch, I added Live bit to InputSectionBase. If and only
if Live bit is on, the section will be written to the output.
Starting from GC-root symbols or sections, a new function, markLive(),
visits all reachable sections and sets their Live bits. Writer then
ignores sections whose Live bit is off, so that such sections are
excluded from the output.
This change has small negative impact on performance if you use
the feature because making sections means more work. The time to
link Clang changes from 0.356s to 0.386s, or +8%.
It reduces Clang size from 57,764,984 bytes to 55,296,600 bytes.
That is 4.3% reduction.

This patch implements --hash-style command line switch.
* By default, or with "sysv" or "both" parameters, the linker generates
a standard ELF hash section.
* With "gnu" or "both", it produces a GNU-style hash section.
That section requires the symbols in the dynamic symbol table section, which
are referenced in the GNU hash section, to be placed after not hashed ones and
to be sorted to correspond the order of hash buckets in the GNU Hash section.
The division function, as well as estimations for the section's parameters,
are just the first rough attempt and the subjects for further adjustments.

Target has supportsLazyRelocations() method which can switch lazy relocations on/off (currently all targets are OFF except x64 which is ON). So no any other targets are affected now.

The option now just sets NOW bit in DT_FLAGS_1 but some loaders
seem to require also BIND_NOW bit to be set in DT_FLAGS. This is,
also, what ld.bfd and gold do.

The two names are similar enough that they might lead to confusion.
The output of readobj clarifies but I missed it when I originally
committed this. Found while linking FreeBSD userland with lld.

The reason of collecting all undefines in vector is that during reading files we already need to have Symtab created. Or like was done in that patch - to put undefines from scripts somewhere to delay Symtab.addUndefinedOpt() call.
