Previously, OffsetInBSS is -1 if it has no information about copy
relocation, 0 if it needs a copy relocation, and >0 if its offset
in BSS has been assigned. These flags were too subtle. This patch
adds a new flag, NeedsCopy, to carry information about whether
a shared symbol needs a copy relocation or not.

Combination of @tlsgd and @gottpoff at the same time leads to miss of R_X86_64_TPOFF64 dynamic relocation. Patch fixes that.
@tlsgd(%rip) - Allocate two contiguous entries in the GOT to hold a tls index
structure (for passing to tls get addr).
@gottpoff(%rip) - Allocate one GOT entry to hold a variable offset in initial TLS
block (relative to TLS block end, %fs:0).
The same situation can be observed for x86 (probably others too, not sure) with corresponding for that target relocations: @tlsgd, @gotntpoff.

This patch implements R_MIPS_GOT16 relocation for global symbols in order to
generate some entries in GOT. Only reserved and global entries are supported
for now. For the detailed description about GOT in MIPS, see "Global Offset
Table" in Chapter 5 in the followin document:
ftp://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/mipsabi.pdf
In addition, the platform specific symbol "_gp" is added, see "Global Data
Symbols" in Chapter 6 in the aforementioned document.

Section garbage collection is a feature to remove unused sections
from outputs. Unused sections are sections that cannot be reachable
from known GC-root symbols or sections. Naturally the feature is
implemented as a mark-sweep garbage collector.
In this patch, I added Live bit to InputSectionBase. If and only
if Live bit is on, the section will be written to the output.
Starting from GC-root symbols or sections, a new function, markLive(),
visits all reachable sections and sets their Live bits. Writer then
ignores sections whose Live bit is off, so that such sections are
excluded from the output.
This change has small negative impact on performance if you use
the feature because making sections means more work. The time to
link Clang changes from 0.356s to 0.386s, or +8%.
It reduces Clang size from 57,764,984 bytes to 55,296,600 bytes.
That is 4.3% reduction.

Target has supportsLazyRelocations() method which can switch lazy relocations on/off (currently all targets are OFF except x64 which is ON). So no any other targets are affected now.

This patch is to use ELFT instead of Is64Bits to template OutputSection
and its subclasses. This increases code size slightly because it creates
two identical functions for some classes, but that's only 20 KB out of
33 MB, so it's negligible.
This is as per discussion with Rafael. He's not fan of the idea but OK
with this. We'll revisit later to this topic.

What was done:
1) .got.plt section is created for functions that requires PLT. .got.plt has 3 predefined empty entries now that are required for dynamic linker.
Also other new items created are configured to have correct jump to PLT[N].
2) PLT section now has PLT[0] entry, also others ones are configured to support PLT->GOT(.got.plt) calls.
3) Implemented .rel[a].plt sections (based on patch http://reviews.llvm.org/D13569).
4) Fixed plt relocations types (based on patch http://reviews.llvm.org/D13589).
NOTES:
The .plt.got zero entry is still empty now. According to ELF specification it should hold the address of the dynamic structure, referenced with the symbol
_DYNAMIC. The _DYNAMIC entry points to the .dynamic section which contains information used by the ELF interpreter to setup the binary.

This patch adds AsNeeded and IsUsed bool fields to SharedFile. AsNeeded bit
is set if the DSO is enclosed with --as-needed and --no-as-needed. IsUsed
bit is off by default. When we adds a symbol to the symbol table for dynamic
linking, we set its SharedFile's IsUsed bit.
If AsNeeded is set but IsUsed is not set, we don't want to write that
file's SO name to DT_NEEDED field.

This is a case that requires --start-group --end-group with regular ELF
linkers. Fortunately it is still possible to handle it with lazy symbols without
taking a second look at archives.
Thanks to Michael Spencer for the bug report.

Add symbol specified with -u as undefined which may cause additional
object files from archives to be linked into the resulting binary.

This is more consistent with OutputSection. This is also part of removing
the "Chunk" term from the ELF linker, since we just have input/output sections
and program headers.

The ELF spec says:
... if any reference to or definition of a name is a symbol with a
non-default visibility attribute, the visibility attribute must be
propagated to the resolving symbol in the linked object. If different
visibility attributes are specified for distinct references to or
definitions of a symbol, the most constraining visibility attribute
must be propagated to the resolving symbol in the linked object. The
attributes, ordered from least to most constraining, are:
STV_PROTECTED, STV_HIDDEN and STV_INTERNAL.
