This patch provides generation of .ARM.exidx & .ARM.extab sections which are
used for unwinding. The patch adds new content type typeARMExidx for atoms from
.ARM.exidx section and integration of atoms with such type to the ELF
ReaderWriter. exidx.test has been added with checking of contents of .ARM.exidx
section and .ARM.extab section.

Change the test so that it tests the right functionality.
Also put a description with the code from which the test was generated.

I noticed that gold mark these as hidden. While at it I rewrote the test for
this feature to use yaml rather than an object file as input.

This patch allow the ARM relocation R_ARM_V4BX to be processed by lld,
although it is not really handled in the static relocation code. The
relocation is in the form:
Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x428 contains 4 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
00000014 00000028 R_ARM_V4BX
Meaning it does have a direct target, but rather references to an absolute
section *ABS* (in this exemple to the .text segment itself). It makes the
target Atom after file parse to not have a associated pointer and thus
generating a derrefence NULL point in ELFFile<ELFT>::findAtom. Current
approach is just ignore and return nullptr in such cases.
The problem relies that default GCC configuration
for arm-linux-gnueabi{hf} emits the relocation for the asm:
--
.syntax unified
.arm
.p2align 2
.type fn, %function
fn:
ldr r3, .LGOT
ldr r2, .LGOT+4
.LPIC:
add r3, pc, r3
ldr r2, [r3, r2]
cmp r2, #0
bxeq lr
b __start__
.LGOT:
.word _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-(.LPIC+8)
.word __start__(GOT)
--
But only with the option -march=armv4 (which is the default GCC configuration).
For arm5 and forward the relocation is not created. This a special relocation
(defined miscellaneous for ARM) that instruct the linker to replace the bx
instruction into a mov. GNU linker has some options related to which substitution
it can create for such cases.
With this patch I can dynamically link an application against a GLIBC
arm-linux-gnueabi system configured with default GCC.

loadFile could load mulitple files just because yaml has a feature for
putting multiple documents in one file.
Designing a linker around what yaml can do seems like a bad idea to
me. This patch changes it to read a single file.
There are further improvements to be done to the api and they
will follow shortly.

Command line options --arm-target1-rel and --arm-target1-abs have been renamed to be compatible with GNU linkers.
Two tests have been updated:

test/elf/ARM/rel-arm-target1.test

According to the code model (ARM, Thumb, Thumb2) this patch updates the b/bl/blx 0 instructions with NOP.
test/elf/ARM/weak-branch.test has been added with tests for all available NOP (A1, T1, T2 encodings).

The TargetLayout class puts two sections into the same segment if they
have equal segment types and the same section flags (SHF_xxx). To be
able to merge some sort of sections into the same segment we drop some
flags before comparison. For example to merge string sections into Data
segment we drop SHF_STRINGS and SHF_MERGE flags.
The patch allows TargetLayout descendants to drop some target specific
section flags. MIPS target needs that to merge .MIPS.options section
which has SHF_MIPS_NOSTRIP flag into the LOAD segment.

The `OutputSection::appendSection()` method always gets a pointer
to the `Section` class descendants. So it is not necessary to keep them
in the vector of `Chunk` pointers.
No functional changes.

There's (almost) never need to keep .L symbols around for production
builds. In fact, the FreeBSD kernel explicitly specify -X beacuse the
size impact (and the subsequent performance impact) might be significant,
because we keep symbols in memory.
I was tempted to make this the default, but I haven't (yet).
