Alexander Richardson 6b367faa45 [ELF] Make overlapping output sections an error
Summary:
While trying to make a linker script behave the same way with lld as it did
with bfd, I discovered that lld currently doesn't diagnose overlapping
output sections. I was getting very strange runtime failures which I
tracked down to overlapping sections in the resulting binary. When linking
with ld.bfd overlapping output sections are an error unless
--noinhibit-exec is passed and I believe lld should behave the same way
here to avoid surprising crashes at runtime.

The patch also uncovered an errors in the tests: arm-thumb-interwork-thunk
was creating a binary where .got.plt was placed at an address overlapping
with .got.
