A bug in libObject will cause it to assert() if a symbol table's string
table and the section header string table are the same section, so we
need to ensure that we emit two different string tables (among other
things). The problematic code is the hardcoded usage of ".strtab"
(`dot_strtab_sec`) for looking up symbol names in
ELFObjectFile<ELFT>::getSymbolName.
I discussed this with Michael, and he has some local improvements to the
ELF code in libObject that, among other things, should fix our handling
of this scenario.

I was spotting garbage in the output. I'd like to just zero the entire
ELFYAML::Section to be sure, but it contains non-POD types. (I'm also
trying to avoid bloating the ELFYAML::Foo classes with a bunch of
constructor code).
No test, since this is by its very nature unpredictable. I'm pretty sure
that one of the sanitizers would catch it immediately though.

The error message was:
/home/espindola/llvm/llvm/tools/gold/gold-plugin.cpp: In function ‘ld_plugin_status cleanup_hook()’:
/home/espindola/llvm/llvm/tools/gold/gold-plugin.cpp:461:30: error: cannot pass objects of non-trivially-copyable type ‘std::string {aka class std::basic_string<char>}’ through ‘...’
I will check if this was a clang or gcc issue.

Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.
LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:
* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.
* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.
* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.
This patch then:
* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.
We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".

For consistency, change the address in the test case from 0xDEADBEEF to
0xCAFEBABE since 0xCAFEBABE that actually has a 2-byte alignment.

It was only used to implement ExecuteAndWait and ExecuteNoWait. Expose just
those two functions and make Execute and Wait implementations details.

These records are mandatory for executables and are used by the loader.
