This has a few advantages:
* If lld selected a non bitcode symbol, be the bitcode GV is not merged
* lib/Linker is not redoing symbol resolution.

When generating relocatable output SHT_NOBITS sections

The hack of using a plt address as the address of an undefined function
only works in executables. Don't try it with shared libraries.

There was a known limitation for -r option:
relocations against local symbols were not supported.
For example rel[a].eh_frame sections contained relocations against sections
and that was not supported for -r before. Patch fixes that.

The patch fixes two related problems:
- If CIE augmentation string has 'L' token the CIE contains a byte
defines LSDA encoding. We should skip this byte in `getFdeEncoding`
routine. Before this fix we do not skip it and if the next token
is 'R' treat this byte as FDE encoding.
- FDE encoding format has separate flags e.g. DW_EH_PE_pcrel for
definition of relative pointers. We should add .eh_frame address to
the PC value iif the DW_EH_PE_pcrel is specified.

There is one more not fixed problem in this code. If PC value is encoded
using signed relative format e.g. DW_EH_PE_sdata4 | DW_EH_PE_pcrel we
should sign extend result of read32 to perform calculation correctly.
I am going to fix that in a separate patch.

CoreDriver implements a driver for a hypothetical platform.
It is intended to be used in unittests. However, it is actually
redundant because the features are tested using the real driver
for the real platforms. So we can remove this.

__start_/__end_ <section-name> symbols and other specials like:
preinit_array_start/end
init_array_start/end
fini_array_start/end

BSD linker scripts contain special cases to add NOP
padding to code sections. Syntax is next:
.init:
{
KEEP (*(.init))
} =0x90909090
(0x90 is NOP)
This patch implements that functionality.

It is said that:
_etext - The address of _etext is the first
location after the last read-only loadable segment.
_edata - The address of _edata is the first
location after the last read-write loadable segment.
_end - If the address of _edata is greater than the address
of _etext, the address of _end is same as the address of _edata.
In real life _end and _edata has different values for that case.
Both gold/bfd set _edata to the end of the last non SHT_NOBITS section.
This patch do the same for consistency.
It should fix the https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26729.

For shared libraries we allow any weak undefined symbol to eventually be
resolved, even if we never see a definition in another .so. This matches
the behavior when handling other undefined symbols in a shared library.
For executables, we require seeing a definition in a .so or resolve it
to zero. This is also similar to how non weak symbols are handled.

R_MIPS_GOT16 relocation against local symbol requires index of a local
GOT entry which contains page address corresponds to sum of the symbol
address and addend. The addend in that case is calculated using addends
from the R_MIPS_GOT16 and paired R_MIPS_LO16 relocations.

This patch implements the same algorithm as LLD/COFF's ICF. I'm
not going to repeat the same description about how it works, so you
want to read the comment in ICF.cpp in this patch if you want to know
the details. This algorithm should be more powerful than the ICF
algorithm implemented in GNU gold. It can even merge mutually-recursive
functions (which is harder than one might think).
ICF is a fairly effective size optimization. Here are some examples.
LLD: 37.14 MB -> 35.80 MB (-3.6%)
Clang: 59.41 MB -> 57.80 MB (-2.7%)
The lacking feature is "safe" version of ICF. This merges all
identical sections. That is not compatible with a C/C++ language
requirement that two distinct functions must have distinct addresses.
But as long as your program do not rely on the pointer equality
(which is in many cases true), your program should work with the
feature. LLD works fine for example.
GNU gold implements so-called "safe ICF" that identifies functions
that are safe to merge by heuristics -- for example, gold thinks
that constructors are safe to merge because there is no way to
take an address of a constructor in C++. We have a different idea
which David Majnemer suggested that we add NOPs at beginning of
merged functions so that two or more pointers can have distinct
values. We can do whichever we want, but this patch does not
include neither.

This commit does two related thing. At first, it enumerates supported
absolute MIPS relocations in the `MipsTargetInfo<ELFT>::isRelRelative`
method. In that case the code is shorter and the case switch does not
tend to grow. At second, it prevents R_MIPS_COPY and PLT creation for
relative relocations. For almost all relative MIPS relocations like
R_MIPS_PC19_S2, R_MIPS_PCHI16 etc it does not have a sence. The only
exception is R_MIPS_PC32. GNU linker creates a copy relocation or PLT
entry for it. But I could not find any real test case uses R_MIPS_PC32
with DSO defined symbol as a target. So for now I prefer to skip this
case to simplify the LLD code.
