Previously, we created two or more output sections if there are
input sections with the same name but with different attributes.
That is a wrong behavior. This patch fixes the issue.
One thing we need to do is to merge output section attributes.
Currently, we create an output section based on the first input
section's attributes. This may make a wrong output section
attributes. What we need to do is to bitwise-OR attributes.
We'll do it in a follow-up patch.

The reason why we had to assign offsets only to sections that
don't contain layout sections were unclear. It turned out that
we can live without it.

SIZEOF_HEADERS - Return the size in bytes of the output file’s headers.
It is is a feature used in FreeBsd script, for example.
There is a discussion on PR28688 page about it.

Summary:
The comparator function to compare input sections as instructed by
SORT command was a bit too complicated because it needed to handle
four different cases. This patch split it into two function calls.
This patch also simplifies the parser.

ASSERT(exp, message)
Ensure that exp is non-zero. If it is zero, then exit the linker with an error
code, and print message.
ASSERT is useful and was seen in few projects in the wild.

According to spec:
"SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT will sort sections into descending order by
alignment before placing them in the output file"
Previously they were sorted into ascending order.

With the previous change, it is now obvious that readProvide in
this context appended new commands to a wrong command list.
It was mistakenly adding new commands to the top level.
Thus, all commands inside output section descriptions were
interpreted as they were written on top level.
PROVIDE command naturally requires symbol assignment support
in the output section description. We don't have that one yet.
I removed the implementation because there's no way to fix it now.
We can resurrect the test once we support the symbol assignment
(with a modification to detect errors that we failed to find as
described.)
llvm-svn: 277687
Previously, many read* functions created new command objects and
add them directly to the top-level data structure. This is not
work for some commands because some commands, such as the assignment,
can appear inside and outside of the output section description.
This patch is to not append objects to the top-level data structure.
Callers are now responsible to do that.

Previously, a decimal filler expression is interpreted as a byte value.
Gold on the other hand use it as a 32-bit big-endian value.
This patch fixes the compatibility issue.

Previously we supported only sorting by name.
When there are nested section sorting commands in linker script, there can be at most 1
level of nesting for section sorting commands.
SORT_BY_NAME (SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (wildcard section pattern)). It will sort the input
sections by name first, then by alignment if 2 sections have the same name.
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (SORT_BY_NAME (wildcard section pattern)). It will sort the input
sections by alignment first, then by name if 2 sections have the same alignment.
SORT_BY_NAME (SORT_BY_NAME (wildcard section pattern)) is treated the same as SORT_
BY_NAME (wildcard section pattern).
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (wildcard section pattern)) is treated the
same as SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT (wildcard section pattern).
All other nested section sorting commands are invalid.
Patch implements that all above.

Previously, Ignore flag is set if we don't want to assign
a value to symbols. It happens if a symbol assingment is in
PROVIDE() and there's already a symbol with the same name.
The previous code had a subtle but that we assume that the
existing symbol is an absolute symbol even if it is not.
This patch fixes the issue by always overwriting an absolute
symbol.

All other singleton instances are accessible globally.

This is a bit of an odd feature. It is normally used in
. = SEGMENT_START(seg, val);
In bfd it evaluates to val or to the value of the corresponding
-T<seg>-segment. Note that the -T<seg>-segment in bfd doesn't actually
change the segment address, just the value this evaluates too,
including in the default linker script.
In gold the -T<seg>-segment options do change the segment address and
seeing this expressions in linker scripts disables the options.
For new this just always evaluates the expression to val.

Some scripts can contain SORT(CONSTRUCTORS) expression:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/conf/ldscript.amd64?revision=284870&view=markup#l152
for ELF it just a nop:
"When linking object file formats which do not support arbitrary sections, such as ECOFF and XCOFF, the linker will automatically recognize C++ global constructors and destructors by name. For these object file formats, the CONSTRUCTORS command tells the linker to place constructor information in the output section where the CONSTRUCTORS command appears. The CONSTRUCTORS command is ignored for other object file formats."
(http://www.sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.10/ld_3.html)
So patch implements ignoring.
