Previously, we have a lot of BumpPtrAllocators, but all these
allocators virtually have the same lifetime because they are
not freed until the linker finishes its job. This patch aggregates
them into a single allocator.

As the state of lld gets more complicated, shutting down gets more
expensive.
In a normal lld run we can just call _exit immediately after renaming
the temporary output file. We still want the ability to run a full
shutdown since that is useful for detecting memory leaks.
This patch adds a --full-shutdown flag and changes lit to use it.

We used to have one allocator per file, which reduces the advantage of
using an allocator in the first place.
This is a small speed up is most cases. The largest speedup was in
1.014X in chromium no-gc. The largest slowdown was scylla at 1.003X.

In this patch partial gdb_index section is created.
For costructing the .gdb_index section 6 steps should be performed (details are in
SplitDebugInfo.cpp file header), this patch do first 3:
Creates proper section header.
Fills list of compilation units.
Types CU list area is not supposed to be supported, so it is ignored and therefore

-format=<foo>, -format <foo> and -b <foo> are all the same.
Previous code was intended to produce an error message with the
same spelling as given from the command line, but it actually
always printed out this string: "unknown -format= value:".
This is probably more confusing than "unknown -format value:".
So I changed the message.

Previously, we were checking the existence of an entry symbol
too early. It was done before the linker script processor creates
symbols defined in scripts. Fixes bug 30743.

The R_ARM_TARGET2 relocation is used in ARM exception tables to encode
a data dependency that will only be dereferenced by code in the
run-time support library. In a similar way to R_ARM_TARGET1 the
handling of the relocation is target specific, it maps to one of
R_ARM_ABS32, R_ARM_REL32 or R_ARM_GOT_PREL. The choice depends on the
run-time library. R_ARM_GOT_PREL is used for linux and BSD,
R_ARM_ABS32 and R_ARM_REL32 are used for bare-metal.
The command line option --target2=<target> can be used to select the
relocation used for R_ARM_TARGET2. The default is R_ARM_GOT_PREL.

-z wxneeded creates a PHDR PT_OPENBSD_WXNEEDED.

The array element specifies that a process executing this file may need to be able to map or protect memory regions as simultaneously executable and writable. If the system is unable or unwilling to permit that for this executable then it may fail immediately. This segment type is meaningful only for executable files and is ignored in other objects.

This matches the behavior of Binutils linkers. We also change the
default MaxPageSize on x86-64 to 0x1000 to preserver the current
behavior, which is the same as the behavior implemented by gold.

PR30521 was about linking shared library. After r282295 code when linking -shared produced
"entry symbol not found" warning, what in combination with --fatal-errors failed linkage.
Patch fixes logic (and adds testcases) to follow next rules:
1) If entry was specified and not found report warning.
2) If entry was not specified then:
a) Emit warning if not -shared.
b) Do not emit warning if -shared.

This is particularly important when the symbol comes from a linker
script. It is common to use the same linker script for shared
libraries and executables. Without this we would always fail to link
shared libraries with -z,defs and a linker script with an ENTRY
directive.

--section-start=sectionname=org
Locate a section in the output file at the absolute address given by org.
You may use this option as many times as necessary to locate multiple sections in the command line.
org must be a single hexadecimal integer; for compatibility with other linkers,
you may omit the leading `0x' usually associated with hexadecimal values.
Note: there should be no white space between sectionname, the equals sign (“<=>”), and org.
-Tbss=org
-Tdata=org
-Ttext=org
Same as --section-start, with .bss, .data or .text as the sectionname.

Previously, all input files were owned by the symbol table.
Files were created at various places, such as the Driver, the lazy
symbols, or the bitcode compiler, and the ownership of new files
was transferred to the symbol table using std::unique_ptr.
All input files were then free'd when the symbol table is freed
which is on program exit.
I think we don't have to transfer ownership just to free all
instance at once on exit.
In this patch, all instances are automatically collected to a
vector and freed on exit. In this way, we no longer have to
use std::unique_ptr.

lld differs from GNU ld in that it does not have a built-in default
target emulation. Emulation is always specified via the -m option, or
obtained from the object file(s) being linked. In most cases at least
one ELF object is included in the link, so the emulation is known.
When using lld's (not yet committed) -b binary support with -r, to
convert a binary file into an ELF object we do not have a known
emulation. The error message previously emitted in this case
"-m or at least a .o file required" is accurate but does not offer
much insight. Add text to the error message to give a hint why -m or an
object file is required.

A trailing _fbsd is stripped from emulation names, but if the result was
still not a valid emulation the error was somewhat confusing.

FreeBSD's libstdc++ build (used on tier-2 architectures) uses GNU ld's
-f <name> option, which sets the DT_AUXILIARY field to the specified name.
Multiple -f options may be specified and the DT_AUXILIARY entries
will be added in the order in which they appear.
