This fixes an issue where a symbol only section at the start of a
PT_LOAD segment, causes incorrect alignment of the file offset for the
start of the segment which results in the output of an invalid ELF.
SHT_PROGBITS was the default output section type in the past.

Summary:
If the output section contains only symbol assignments, we copy flags
from the previous sections. Don't set SHF_ALLOC if NonAlloc is true.
We also have to change the type from SHT_NOBITS to SHT_PROGBITS.
In ld.bfd, bfd_elf_get_default_section_type maps non-alloctable sections to SHT_PROGBITS.
Non-alloctable SHT_NOBITS sections do not make sense.

Patch by Gabriel Smith.
The address for a section would be evaluated before the region was
switched to. Because of this, the position within the region would not
be updated. After the region is swapped to the dot would be set to the
out of date position within the region, undoing the section address
evaluation.
To fix this, the region is swapped to before the section's address is
evaluated. As part of the fallout of this, expandMemoryRegions needed
to be gated in setDot on the condition that the evaluated address is
less than the dot. This is for the case where sections are not listed
from lowest address to highest address.
Finally, a test for the case where sections are listed "out of order"
was added.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Some parts of the code changed are a bit old. I found traces in 2016.
Initiall commits has test cases and perhaps reasonable comments.
For example, we had segfaults earlier and had the code to fix them.
Now, in 2018, I think it is excessive to have these parts, because
we do not have segfaults and our code was changed a lot (softly saying).
I reviewed the current sources and I think that at this point of the
execution flow, we should never face with
the conditions checked and so I removing them in this patch.
This helps to cleanup the code.

This change adds experimental support for SHT_RELR sections, proposed
here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg
Pass '--pack-dyn-relocs=relr' to enable generation of SHT_RELR section
and DT_RELR, DT_RELRSZ, and DT_RELRENT dynamic tags.
Definitions for the new ELF section type and dynamic array tags, as well
as the encoding used in the new section are all under discussion and are
subject to change. Use with caution!
Pass '--use-android-relr-tags' with '--pack-dyn-relocs=relr' to use
SHT_ANDROID_RELR section type instead of SHT_RELR, as well as
DT_ANDROID_RELR* dynamic tags instead of DT_RELR*. The generated
section contents are identical.
'--pack-dyn-relocs=android+relr --use-android-relr-tags' enables both
'--pack-dyn-relocs=android' and '--pack-dyn-relocs=relr': lld will
encode the relative relocations in a SHT_ANDROID_RELR section, and pack
the rest of the dynamic relocations in a SHT_ANDROID_REL(A) section.

We call switchTo() from assignAddresses() for switching to Aether,

LLD removes empty output sections otherwise specified in the linker
script. Prior to this change however, if section descriptions included
ANY kind of symbol assignment, then the consequent output section would
not be removed, even if the assignment was marked with PROVIDE and not
actually triggered (i.e. the symbol was never referenced). This change
modifies the isDiscarable function to ignore such directives when
determining whether a section should be discarded, in keeping with
bfd's behaviour. Symbol assignments that do result in a symbol
definition will continue to result in a kept section (this is not
actually the same as bfd's behaviour, but it is simpler, and probably
makes more sense).

This is slightly simpler to read IMHO. Now if a symbol has a position
in the file, it is Defined.
The main motivation is that with this a SharedSymbol doesn't need a
section, which reduces the size of SymbolUnion.

Currently, LLD supports ASSERT as a separate command.
We support two forms now.
Assign expression-form: . = ASSERT(0x100)
(old GNU ld required it and some scripts in the wild are still using
something like . = ASSERT((_end - _text <= (512 * 1024 * 1024)), "kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE");
Nowadays above is not a mandatory form and command-like form is commonly used:
ASSERT(<expr>, "text);
The return value of the ASSERT is Dot. That was implemented in D30171.
It looks like (2) is just a short version of (1) then.
GNU ld does *not* list ASSERT as a SECTIONS command:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/SECTIONS.html#SECTIONS
Given above we probably can change ASSERT to be an assignment to Dot.
That makes the rest of the code much simpler. Patch do that.

Currently LLD sets OutSecOff in addSection for input sections.
That is a fake offset (just a rude approximation to remember the order),
used for sorting SHF_LINK_ORDER sections
(see resolveShfLinkOrder, compareByFilePosition).
There are 2 problems with such approach:
1. We currently change and reuse Size field as a value assigned. Changing size is
not good because leads to bugs. Currently, SIZEOF(.bss) for empty .bss returns 2
because we add two empty synthetic sections and increase size twice by 1.
(See PR37011: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37011)
2. Such approach simply does not work when --symbol-ordering-file is involved,
because processing of the ordering file might break the initial section order.
This fixes PR37011.

Currently, LLD print symbol assignment commands to the map file,
but it does not do that for assignments that are outside of the section
descriptions. Such assignments can affect the layout though.

* Teaches LLD to print symbol assignments outside of section declaration.
* Teaches LLD to print PROVIDE/HIDDEN/PROVIDE hidden commands.

Currently when we build input sections list in linker script
we ignore all rel[a] sections. That was done to support
scripts like .rela.dyn : { *(.rela.data) } for emit relocs.
Though as a result following scripts were also silently ignored:
/DISCARD/ : { *(.rela.plt)
/DISCARD/ : { *(.rela.dyn)
and we produced output with this sections. That is not ideal.
The solution this patch suggests is simple: do not ignore synthetic
rel[a] sections. That way we can enable common discarding logic
for them and report a proper error.

This implements INSERT AFTER in a following way:
During reading scripts it collects all insert statements.
After we done and read all files it inserts statements into script commands list.
With that:
* Rest of code does know nothing about INSERT.
* Approach is straightforward and have no visible limitations.
* It is also easy to support INSERT BEFORE (was seen in clang code once).
* Should work for PR35877 and similar cases.
Cons:
* It assumes we have "main" scripts that describes sections.
