Patch implements --compress-debug-sections=zlib.
In compare with D20211 (a year old patch, abandoned), it implementation
uses streaming and fully reimplemented, does not support zlib-gnu for
simplification.
This is PR32308.

RELRO is a feature to make segments read-only after dynamic relocations
are applied. It is different from read-only segments because RELRO is
initially writable. And of course RELRO is different from writable
segments.
RELRO is not a very well known feature. We have a series of checks to
make a decision whether a section should be in a RELRO segment or not,
but we didn't describe why. This patch adds comments to explain how
that decision is made.

Executable sections should not be padded with zero by default. On some
architectures, 0x00 is the start of a valid instruction sequence, so can confuse
disassembly between InputSections (and indeed the start of the next InputSection
in some situations). Further, in the case of misjumps into padding, padding may
start to be executed silently.
On x86, the "0xcc" byte represents the int3 trap instruction. It is a single
byte long so can serve well as padding. This change switches x86 (and x86_64) to
use this value for padding in executable sections, if no linker script directive
overrides it. It also puts the behaviour into place making it easy to change the
behaviour of other targets when desired. I do not know the relevant instruction
sequences for trap instructions on other targets however, so somebody should add
this separately.
Because the old behaviour simply wrote padding in the whole section before
overwriting most of it, this change also modifies the padding algorithm to write
padding only where needed. This in turn has caused a small behaviour change with
regards to what values are written via Fill commands in linker scripts, bringing
it into line with ld.bfd. The fill value is now written starting from the end of
the previous block, which means that it always starts from the first byte of the
fill, whereas the old behaviour meant that the padding sometimes started mid-way
through the fill value. See the test changes for more details.

For range extension thunks we will need to repeatedly call createThunks()
until no more thunks are created. We will need to retain the state of
Thunks that we have created so far to avoid recreating them on later
passes. This change does not change the functionality of createThunks().

GNU linkers define __bss_start symbol.
Patch teaches LLD to do that. This is PR32051.
Below is part of standart ld.bfd script:
.data1 : { *(.data1) }
_edata = .; PROVIDE (edata = .);
. = .;
__bss_start = .;
.bss :
{
Currently LLD can emit up to 3 .bss* sections as one of testcase shows.
Implementation inserts this symbol before first .bss* output section.

LinkerScript used to be a template class, so we couldn't instantiate
that class in elf::link. We instantiated ScriptConfig class earlier
instead so that the linker script parser can store configurations to
the object.
Now that LinkerScript is not a template, it doesn't make sense to
separate ScriptConfig from LinkerScript. This patch merges them.

The patch introduces two new relocations expressions R_MIPS_GOT_GP and
R_MIPS_GOT_GP_PC. The first one represents a current value of `_gp`
pointer and used to calculate relocations against the `__gnu_local_gp`
symbol. The second one represents the offset between the beginning of
the function and the `_gp` pointer's value.
There are two motivations for introducing new expressions:
- It's better to keep all non-trivial relocation calculations in the
single place - `getRelocTargetVA` function.
- Relocations against both `_gp_disp` and `__gnu_local_gp` symbols
depend on the `_gp` value. It's a magical value points to the "middle"
of GOT. Now all relocations use a common `_gp` value. But in fact,
under some conditions each input file might require its own `_gp`
value. I'm going to implement it in the future patches. So it's
better to make `MipsGotSection` responsible for calculation of
the `_gp` value.

This continues detemplation process.
Detemplating MipsGotSection<ELFT> is helpfull because can
help to detemplate getRelocTargetVA. (one more change is required)
It opens road to detemplation of GotSection<ELFT> and probably
something else after that.

We had a few Config member functions that returns configuration values.
For example, we had is64() which returns true if the target is 64-bit.
The return values of these functions are constant and never change.
This patch is to compute them only once to make it clear that they'll
never change.

StringTableSection was <ELFT> templated previously,
It disallow to de-template code that uses it,
for example LinkerScript<ELFT>::discard uses it as:
if (S == In<ELFT>::ShStrTab)
error("discarding .shstrtab section is not allowed");
It seems we can try to detemplate some of synthetic sections
and somehow make them available for non-templated calls.
(move out of In<ELFT> struct probably).

This also requires postponing the assignment the assignment of
symbols defined in input linker scripts since those can refer to

We can move all not templated functionality to LinkerScriptBase.
Patch do that for hasPhdrsCommands() and shows how it helps to detemplate
things in other places.
Probably we should be able to merge these 2 classes into single one after such steps.
Even if not, it still looks as reasonable cleanup for me.

With this we have a single section hierarchy. It is a bit less code,
but the main advantage will be in a future patch being able to handle
foo = symbol_in_obj;
in a linker script. Currently that fails since we try to find the
output section of symbol_in_obj. With this we should be able to just
return an InputSection from the expression.
