This simplifies the code by allowing us to remove the visibility argument
to functions that create synthetic symbols.
The only functional change is that the visibility of the MIPS "_gp" symbol
is now hidden. Because this symbol is defined in every executable or DSO, it
would be difficult to observe a visibility change here.

Our symbol representation was redundant, and some times would get out of
sync. It had an Elf_Sym, but some fields were copied to SymbolBody.
Different parts of the code were checking the bits in SymbolBody and
others were checking Elf_Sym.
There are two general approaches to fix this:
* Copy the required information and don't store and Elf_Sym.
* Don't copy the information and always use the Elf_Smy.
The second way sounds tempting, but has a big problem: we would have to
template SymbolBody. I started doing it, but it requires templeting
*everything* and creates a bit chicken and egg problem at the driver
where we have to find ELFT before we can create an ArchiveFile for
example.
As much as possible I compared the test differences with what gold and
bfd produce to make sure they are still valid. In most cases we are just
adding hidden visibility to a local symbol, which is harmless.
In most tests this is a small speedup. The only slowdown was scylla
(1.006X). The largest speedup was clang with no --build-id, -O3 or
--gc-sections (i.e.: focus on the relocations): 1.019X.

MIPS _gp_disp designates offset between start of function and gp pointer
into GOT therefore any relocations against it do not require dynamic
relocation.

On Windows different versions of 'sed' work in different text/binary
mode by default. If default mode is text, sed produces corrupted binary
files. Unfortunately there is no standard command line option to select
the mode. Some 'sed' support '-b' to switch to binary mode, while other
ones support '--text' option and does not have '-b' option at all.

On MIPS O32 ABI, _gp_disp is a magic symbol designates offset between
start of function and gp pointer into GOT. To make seal with such symbol
we add new method addIgnoredStrong(). It adds ignored symbol with global
binding to prevent the symbol substitution. The addIgnored call is not
enough here because this call adds a weak symbol which might be
substituted by symbol from shared library.
